Comment: This was a limitation of gnome-settings-daemon: it refused to start more than once. I upgraded my Dapper today, and among the changelogs noticed that gnome- settings-daemon is now registered per $DISPLAY. I just tried it, and I can log in more than once on different X displays, and get the correct GNOME theme. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
