Did a reinstall and my own solution from #11 did not work this time :-( However I removed gnome-settings-deamon (sudo apt-get remove gnome- settings-daemon) inspired by comments from bug #649809 and that has solved the problem!
Not sure why that deamon is needed on XFCE anyway? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/652731 Title: Appearance settings do not work in Xubuntu 10.10 RC -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
