I have almost the same problem in Xubuntu (Bug #652731) but here it is "xfsettingd" not running (which means appearance settings cannot be changed).
However if I boot from the live cd, everything works and xfsettingsd is running as it should. I use the nvidia non-free driver also, but the bug persists if i deactivate it so I'm not sure if it is releated. -- Meerkat (10.10) does not apply theme properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/649809 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
