Unmarked as duplicate. This is not a duplicate of bug 873545 because the
circumstances and the X error codes are different.

** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 873545
   gnome-settings-daemon crashes on clipboard manager failure

** Description changed:

  On random occasions, logging into Ubuntu (Unity) there is no GTK/Gnome
  theme active. You only see what looks like stock icons and GTK theming.
  Logging out and logging back in again usually fixes the problem, and the
  Ambiance theme (or whatever) is then applied correctly.
  
  We have confirmation this is affecting multiple users in Ubuntu 11.10.
  However I personally used to see the problem occasionally in Ubuntu
  11.04 too.
  
+ When the bug occurs you will see "BadMatch ... error_code 8 request_code
+ 3 minor_code 0" in .xsession-errors:
+ 
+ (gnome-settings-daemon:2108): 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)'.
+   (Details: serial 1265 error_code 8 request_code 3 minor_code 0)
+   (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.)
