GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 139113
Theme does not get applied to display in second session
Last modified: 2007-02-19 17:43:03 UTC
Description of Problem: In the second session started with the same user, all file type icons appear as white paper(in nautilus, file-roller, perhaps more), the gtk2 theme and the font configuration is also wrong. I am running gnome 2.6.0 compiled with gargnome on Debian sid. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. start first gnome session in console 1, everything is ok 2. start 2nd session from console 2 Actual Results: wrong theme Expected Results: correct theme How often does this happen? every time Additional Information: start with the script comes with garnome: GARNOME=/home2/roger/garnome PATH=$GARNOME/bin:$PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$GARNOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH PYTHONPATH=$GARNOME/lib/python2.2/site-packages PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$GARNOME/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig GDK_USE_XFT=1 XDG_DATA_DIRS=$GARNOME/share export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH PYTHONPATH PKG_CONFIG_PATH GDK_USE_XFT XDG_DATA_DIRS exec $GARNOME/bin/gnome-session
This is a problem with gnome-settings-daemon. It only gets started once per machine meaning things like theme details don't get applied to the second session.
Created attachment 26344 [details] screen shot(left side is wrong)
The gnome-settings-daemon can handle multiple sessions but not multiple displays. I don't see us adding multi-display support. To my mind a better fix may be to make the settings daemon display specific.
Another one bug that of http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94049 probably should be closed as duplicate of
Yeah, according to bug 94049 this should be fixed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 94049 ***
