I can confirm this bug in Karmic (worked fine in Jaunty with same icon set and GTK 2.0 theme)

What happens:

I get this problem in approximately 25% of cases. When I power on my machine and the Desktop loads, it loads the GNOME icon set and GNOME GTK 2.0 theme, instead of my own choice of icon and GTK 2.0 theme.

If I open gnome-appearance-properties, my correct choices are selected. If I then double-click on the correct theme in gnome-appearance-properties, the correct icon set and GTK theme are then loaded - but to everything EXCEPT Nautillus - the Desktop still has the GNOME icons, and Nautilus itself still has the GNOME GTK 2.0 theme.

I've had this same problem on all 3 of my machines that run Karmic (2 desktops and a laptop), so if it is due to corruption then its corruption that is reproducible on every machine I use.

One thing that might be important is that my icon theme is very large (around 29,000 icons, about 300MB in size) - could this be the cause of the problem?

Technical Details:

Distro Version - Ubuntu Karmic 9.10, 32-bit, default fresh install with latest updates
