Bug Description
This is a peculiar problem because local GDM login as well as LTSP thin-client logins work fine. Only when I am logged in via VNC (vnc4server is configured to spawn a new GDM session while tunneled through SSH over a WAN) does this happen - and only after a Gutsy -> Hardy upgrade (This issue is consistent with 4 newly upgraded servers). I created the post http://
After logging into Gnome, the theme constantly changes between the default and another (not sure which, but it's pretty fugly) on its own. Fonts, window borders, menus, etc. are constantly cycling back and forth - usually when I open an app (say, Firefox) I will get the error message shown in the screenshot below regarding gnome-settings-
Not sure what other information to give you - the various servers I take care of are mostly the same hardware, but one is completely different - yet experiences the exact same issue. Thanks for any help, and I'm glad to provide any additional information to get this bug resolved.

(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
