Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-settings-
Hello,
I'm reporting a bug here that happens in my VirtualBox installation of Natty since an early date in the releasy cycle.
It occurs permanently on a classic gnome session:
- I type my login password, the desktop appears and looks normal - for the first seconds
- then, usually 20-30 seconds after login, the selected GTK theme (Ambiance by current default) and icon theme (Humanity) disappear and the desktop and programs use the fallback Raleigh(?) GTK theme and the fallback icon theme (see screenshot below). Custom settings of font type/size are also not respected. However the correct metacity/compiz theme stays in use.
- The gnome-settings-
- If I manually restart gnome-settings-
Further observations I made about this issue:
- It happens all the time on a classic gnome session, regarding Unity I have seen it in the past to but on the last logins it worked with Unity running.
- It is independent of the video driver, regardless if I choose Vesa or Vboxdrv (for hardware accelaration).
- Settings up a fresh user account does NOT help!
- I once or twice saw this on a non-virtual real hardware installation, but that was some time ago (before Alpha 2 I think) and didn't happen again since then.
If I can provide any further informations for debugging, please let me know.
Kind regards,
Jan
