Concerning the theme manager: It is buggy. Look at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103797 You can try a workaround: Temporarily stop inetd (as root) /etc/init.d/inetd stop Than kill any fam/famd processes (probably as root) and then launch gnome-theme-mananger It should complain loudly but at least show up. Of course, this is most inconvinient. A workaround that helped me was removing all sorts of theme packages that I don't use anyhow: the metacity-themes package, lots of old gtk-1.2 theme packages etc. Finally I also renamed my ~/.themes to ~/.themes.old With barely 10 or so theme directories remaining in /usr/share/themes I could finally start the theme-manager even without disabling fam/inetd. But of course this behaviour is most buggy and embarrassing. There have been many similar complaints here on debian-gtk-gnome and I guess also in other places. So let's hope that upstream finds a solution, soon! JOhannes -- ~/.signature under construction
