Herwith I add a .xsession-errors without the issue being triggered. The most striking thing are the following two lines missing (which are present when the issue occurs).
** (gnome-settings-daemon:1423): WARNING **: You can only run one xsettings manager at a time; exiting ** (gnome-settings-daemon:1423): WARNING **: Unable to start xsettings manager: Could not initialize xsettings manager. Maybe a race condition? ** Attachment added: "xsession-errors without issue" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/825791/+attachment/2545439/+files/xsession-errors%20without%20issue -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/825791 Title: The theme sometimes changes to fallback theme on itself, can't change it back Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: In spite of the fact that the fallback theme is the one in use, my original theme still remains selected in Appearance. I can't change the theme, because clicking on other themes only changes it for the window of the program "Appearance", other windows stay with the fallback theme. The icon theme will stay the fallback even in the Apprearance window. After I log out and back in, everything is fine. I don't know how to reproduce it yet. It happens like once in 2 weeks. Check out the screenshot!
