Same problem here on 10.10, after login I get the ugly gray top panel
and gray menu bars in applications.  Window decorations are correctly
applied.  Checking my .xsession-errors file I'm getting the following
error.

** (gnome-settings-daemon:1682): WARNING **: You can only run one
xsettings manager at a time; exiting

** (gnome-settings-daemon:1682): WARNING **: Unable to start xsettings
manager: Could not initialize xsettings manager.

My stupid fix is to kill gnome-settings-daemon and restart it.

jay...@jason-ubuntu:~$ ps auxww | grep gnome-settings-daemon
jaywhy    1682  0.0  0.1 384296 11904 ?        Ssl  09:35   0:00 
/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon
jaywhy   11933  0.0  0.0  11336   876 pts/2    S+   09:43   0:00 grep 
--color=auto gnome-settings-daemon
jay...@jason-ubuntu:~$ killall -9 gnome-settings-daemon
jay...@jason-ubuntu:~$ gnome-settings-daemon 

This works and subsequent logoffs and logins don't recreate the problem,
but once I restart the problem returns.

jay...@jason-ubuntu:~$ uname -a
Linux jason-ubuntu 2.6.35-22-generic #35-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 20:45:36 UTC

I'm running on amd64 as others in this thread are, is that a pattern or
coincidence?
