FWIW I also upgraded recently to 9.10 from 9.04 on both my machines and have also experienced the desktop theme vanishing bug, and Nautilus (the desktop/file manager) has crashed a couple of times. They both use VIA onboard video, different generations. I upgraded both through the update manager.

I have a laptop; I used it with ubuntu 9.04 and recently made un update to 9.10 via apt.-get, and it works greatly, both under Gnome and under KDE. In my pc I had fedora and I decided to switch to Ubuntu. It works quite well though I have some problems. For instance, in Gnome I sometimes "lose" desktop theme: I use Dust but sometimes a problems occurs and my desktop turns to a "windows 95 clone". Moreover, both under Gnome and KDE there are quite often some random crashes with file manager; the system continues working, but I have to open again all the windows. Some programs (like aMule) are impossible to use, since they crash every 2 minutes; these happens randomly, even though I just sit and watch the screen. I installed kubuntu and then ubuntu (sudo apt-get install ubuntu- desktop), then tried to do the opposite, installing ubuntu and then kubuntu (sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop) but nothing has changed. I thought it could be a problem with video drivers, but i use the ones "suggested" by kubuntu after the installation. I memtested my pc and nothing was wrong; how can it be possible to have problems with my pc and not with my laptop? Can anybody help me?
