Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-session
The icons, fonts, and some (but not all) window styling in Gnome suddenly reverted to the default theme. At the same time, an instance of Firefox crashed, although I don't know whether the Firefox crash caused the Gnome problem or vice-versa. This line in /var/log/syslog appeared to be logged also at the same time: Mar 27 18:05:46 shiny gnome-session[1470]: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed Opening the System | Preferences | Appearance applet caused the configured theme to be restored. (The theme uses Crux controls and TangoDance borders, with some custom edits to .gtkrc-2.0 and the TangoDance metacity-theme-1.xml file, but I'm not sure that's relevant.) These symptoms are similar to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1575703 , but I don't have the segfault in gnome-settings described there, so the cause may be different. Because this only happened once and gnome-session did not actually crash, I can't get a stacktrace from the time of the crash. If there's any other information I should collect, please say. The instance of gnome-session is still running.
