Comment 8 for bug 320393

I also confirm on Ubuntu 9.04. By the way, its really hard to type gconf-editor with things messed up like this!

Another interesting quirk of this bug is that before I performed the workaround, my theme was not properly applied to the remote desktop sessions (real ones were fine). Even the ubuntu icons for the shutdown button/application launcher were wrong - they were the default gnome ones. If the appearance applet is launched, the right theme and icons are shown, but only while the applet is open.

As soon as I disabled the keyboard plugin, and logged back in, the theme works properly and everything looks right.
