Thank you for commenting on this bug, there is no need to new comments
to confirm or describe the issue though, what is happening is a race
between the login settings manager and the session one on modern
configurations, now what needs to be done is fro someone writting a fix
to make sure the login settings daemon exists before the session on
starts

** Summary changed:

- Meerkat (10.10) does not apply theme properly
+ the session settings manager try starting before the login screen one exits

** Summary changed:

- the session settings manager try starting before the login screen one exits
+ the session settings manager can try starting before the login screen one exits

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: ubuntu-artwork
- 
- After install from the 10.10 beta the new theme does not get applied when the nVidia drivers are used.
- Selecting a theme does only change the titlebar and not the icons or window content.
- The only thing that applies the theme correctly is the theme selector itself.
- Making new users or completely flushing the user folder does not have any effect.
- 
- Hardware:
- 
- Dell Precision M6500
- - Core i7 (920XM)
- - nVidia Quadro FX 3800M (nVidia driver installed)
+ On recent configurations it can happen that the session settings manager
+ try starting before the login screen one exit leading to "** (gnome-
+ settings-daemon:1941): WARNING **: You can only run one xsettings
+ manager at a time; exiting" warnings and to have no theme set in the
+ session
