Panels and icons will not load upon boot

[Colin Azzam]

Binary package hint: xorg

When I attempt to change the display of the panels to "clearlooks" it refreshes with the new look and works fine. However, after shutting down and rebooting, Kubuntu gets passed the boot screen and leaves me with a blank desktop. All panels and icons are invisible and I have to restore kde using the backup file.

I need to correct two things. First of all, I meant "Klearlooks."

Secondly, I attempted to use several other settings, and each one rendered the same result. The only way I can successfully boot my system with all icons and panels is with "oxygen" selected.

This bug report was filed against an old version of Ubuntu.
Can you confirm whether this is still an issue in natty?

If you don't mind, it would be very helpful if you could update the bug
report in launchpad to 'Fix Released' if it is no longer an issue for
you, or if it is still occurring under natty, please tag the bug 'natty'
so it's easier for us to track.
