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 ?
