Comment 2 for bug 1241757

Yes, even after upgrading to 14.04 and then to 14.10, and even after a fresh install of 14.10, Unity Launcher always behaves like that -- apparently takes too long to notice that I'm not using the default wallpaper, and sometimes even the default gtk and icon theme for I sometimes (this is not always) see the default icons, too!
I can live with these minor problems happily though - I even forgot I made such a bug report ;-)
