After uprading a box from Lenny to Maverick I had exactly the same symptoms as Cameron describes: panel isn't styled, theme isn't applied to all windows etc. (grey and ugly gnome UI).
in ~/.xsession_errors I had the same warning as Cameron: ** (gnome-settings-daemon:2028): WARNING **: You can only run one xsettings manager at a time; exiting The interesting part is, that after 7 reboots, suddenly the error in .xsession_errors was gone. That sounds, that we have here a timing issue not a configuration issue. Nevertheless, I reinstalled: aptitude reinstall gnome-control-center rebooted 3 times to verify. The mentioned error is gone and the panel and windows appear as expected. -- maverick rc gnome-settings-dameon doesn't start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/652929 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
