I updated this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1575703&page=2 but here's the short version.
I removed the sun-java6-plugin package, thinking it was the source of the problem, but I continued to see random theme changes. Then I stopped using Gnome-Do/Docky and went back to using the regular Gnome panel. Since then, I haven't seen any random theme changes. My new plan is to begin using Gnome-Do/Docky again to try and recreate the bug. If successful, then I think the bug can be safely narrowed down to the Gnome-Do/Docky package. -- randomly gnome-settings-daemon fails to start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/588155 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
