The nautilus window has a degraded appearance

[BC]

Hi,

The nautilus file explorer window appears sometimes with a strange design with black&white icons instead of normal colored ones. This bug start when opening a new session but not every time. I have to quit the session and reopen it to recover normal window appearance.

See attached screen copy.

Thank you for your bug report, could you add your .xsession-errors after getting the issue?

[BC (ber10)]

Yes I will, but how can I get the .xsession-errors?

Sorry for that question but I am not a software developer

Thank you

it's in your user directory, just use ctrl-h or the menu option to show hidden files

Thanks.
I will send the .xsession-errors as soon as the bug occurs again. But there were no recent new occurence... wait and see...

the log has

"(gnome-settings-daemon:1513): Gdk-WARNING **: The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 1355 error_code 8 request_code 3 minor_code 0)"
