[Bug 734563] Re: [gnome3] Upgrading to Gnome3 PPA breaks Ubuntu theme defaults

 

I'm not sure this bug belongs on launchpad, first my own brief story. I
have multiple Natty's installed and just decided to see what would
happen using this ppa:

https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3

This is the error I get upgrading/installing/removing packages:

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-accessibility-
themes_3.0.0-0ubuntu1~build1_all.deb: trying to overwrite
'/usr/share/themes/HighContrastInverse/index.theme', which is also in
package gnome-themes-standard 2.91.93-1

I've not rebooted yet as I'll poke around a bit first, but my concern is
reporting this in the proper venue :^)

That ppa page says, "For questions and bugs with software in this PPA
please contact":

https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team

So I subscribed them. Apologies in advance if I did so wrongly.

Now onto poking around and then the reboot.

Title:
  [gnome3] Upgrading to Gnome3 PPA breaks Ubuntu theme defaults

Status in “gsettings-desktop-schemas” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gsettings-desktop-schemas

  Installing the Gnome 3 Team PPA on Natty and upgrading breaks the
  default theming used by Ubuntu Classic & the new Unity desktop
  environments by setting the icon-theme to gnome and the gtk-theme to
  Adwaita. And because gnome-control-center currently doesn't have an
  applet to change the theme, it is difficult for users to figure out
  how to get things back to normal.

  It looks like Gnome 3 ignores the previous gconf interface settings
  and only reads the dconf ones.

  For Ubuntu, the dconf default org.gnome.interface.icon-theme should be
  ubuntu-mono-dark and org.gnome.interface.gtk-theme should be Ambiance.

  I believe Ubuntu sets the default gconf themes in the ubuntu-artwork
  package so I don't know if this should be fixed there.
