Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon

What happens:

In approximately 1 in 3 reboots, gnome-settings-daemon fails to start.
This means that Ubuntu loads with the GNOME icon theme and the GNOME GTK
2.0 theme, rather than the default Ubuntu icon theme and GTK 2.0 theme.

I have been running a Lucid 10.04 test install, and updating it daily
(currently at Alpha 2). Everything has been working fine since 10.04
Alpha 1 was first released.

TI first saw this bug after the updates to Lucid 10.04 Alpha 2 on 22nd
February 2010.

I have previously had exactly this same problem on all 3 of my Karmic 9.10 
machines - see bug reports here for example:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/500417
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/516384

Is this reproducible:
No - its random - but it happens every day.

What should happen:
gnome-settings-daemon should not fail to start on system startup.  Correct 
Ubuntu icon theme and GTK 2.0 theme should load.
