Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.14.2-3+b1
Severity: important
Hi,
I am unable to see wallpaper + lock screen in gnome desktop - I see completely
black background. Also, on doing alt-tab I see black windows instead of
application thumbnails. I am unable to set wallpaper (nothing happens).
Gnome tweak tool shows that shell-theme is empty and shows alert sign next to
it, so I think this may be this is because the gnome-shell theme could not be
loaded.
Other applications work fine, but this looks like an important usability
problem to me since general look and feel is impacted.
This started happening last week when I switched from stable to testing by
changing apt sources.list and ran apt-get upgrade. Earlier I was able to see
wallpapers etc.
