The problem here aren't the themes, is the XSettings daemon. Each environment has its own: XFCE has xfce4-settings-manager, Gnome has gnome-settings-daemon, etc.
The package you're looking for is lxsession. LXDE has a standalone version of the daemon, called lxsession-daemon which loads independent config files. I need to do more tests to see if this is working. But I insist, this "bug" is not theme related. -- Rafael Laguna Lubuntu Artwork Team 2014-05-04 5:11 GMT+02:00 Israel <[email protected]>: > On 05/03/2014 08:03 PM, Aere Greenway wrote: > > On 05/03/2014 06:48 PM, Israel wrote: > > On 05/03/2014 07:26 PM, Aere Greenway wrote: > > Rafael: > > I will report it as a bug.
