Comment 5 for bug 395871

I think my problem is related to this one. I am running 32bit Lucid 10.04 using GNOME 2.30.0 and kernel 2.6.32-22-generic. Since I don't like the default theme I have changed to Human Clearlooks with no visual effects. At seemingly random intervals the screen flickers and the display reverts to the default theme. There are no error messages. Entering 'Appearance Preferences' shows Human Clearlooks is still selected. Clicking on another theme then back on Human Clearlooks resets it but it usually reverts again to the default theme fairly quickly (within a couple of minutes). Restarting the computer will get it to stick for a longer period (~day or more). Computer is a Dell GX-280 P-4.

I also have an HP Q6600 quad running the 64bit version of Lucid that has given no problems.
