This problem is similar to bug #29244
Summary:
Dapper Drake Beta. Gnome desktop.
When attempting to edit the Clearlooks theme through the Theme Manager, Gnome
started to behave very strangely and slowly. The theme was, in the end, not
edited (I do not recall the theme editing window ever appearing, in fact, but I
may have closed it subconscieously).
Attempts to change themes were extremely slow, and applications were having
trouble starting.
Essentially, the computer started to run like a slug. Upon closing the theme
manager, I accidentally (not sure if this is my fault or its fault, actually)
switched to the High Contrast black and white theme. It was impossible to
revert at that point, because loading the theme manager was taking an
impossibly long time.
No ammount of fussing or waiting would return it to operating properly, so I
restarted the computer.
Upon restarting, Gnome, theoretically, loads (splash screen and everything),
but I only see my desktop background colour, with my two panels (sized to my
specifications) constantly disppearing and reappearing. It is perhaps useful
information that the splash screen icons are of the high contrast theme. (So
theme preferences have presumably been properly saved).
