Title:
  "'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error" and
  missing icons

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The theme does not load correctly: the menu bar at the top is a light
  gray, some icons for launchers on the left are missing and the overall
  appearance of gtk applications looks like a Windows 95 theme. I can
  post a screenshot if that helps.

  The problem exists on a fresh installation of Ubuntu 11.10 (64-bit).
  I'm not completely sure the unity package is to blame for this;
  apologies if I should have specified a different package. I am willing
  to do any extra debugging required to fix this.

  (gnome-settings-daemon:5115): Gdk-WARNING **: The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error.
  This probably reflects a bug in the program.
  The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.

    (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
     that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
     To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
     option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
     backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
