Description Josh Lee 2004-12-09 22:23:22 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When I first log in, I can switch themes/fonts/etc just fine. Once the desktop
has been open for quite a while, however, changes do not take effect. I need to
kill gnome-settings-daemon to get this to work.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Log in.
2. Themes work.
3. Wait a while/do stuff.
4. Themes don't work.
5. Kill gnome-settings-daemon.
6. Goto 2.

Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
Metacity, after a while, sometimes does not respond to changes in preferences
either.

I have exactly the same bug on debian unstable (Gnome version 2.8.1).

Also play/pause/next/prev keybindings fail to control rhythmbox sometimes (it
seems to be related as killing gnome-settings-daemon solve the problem)
Comment 2 Kjartan Maraas 2004-12-30 15:14:16 UTC 
Could this be related to packaging problems in debian unstable? I haven't seen
this reported on other distros.
Comment 3 Sebastien Bacher 2004-12-30 16:12:21 UTC 
still this gconf bug: #153948. The Debian packages send a sighup to gconfd-2
after the installation to reload the base (which is a gconf feature) but that
breaks some listeners ...
Comment 4 Sebastien Bacher 2004-12-30 16:14:15 UTC 
#154005 in fact (#153948 is a dup of it)
