Hi, I've noticed that sometimes when updatedb runs during start-up, Gnome Settings Daemon "crashes", or probably a better description would be "times out". The result is that your normal windowing theme is not loaded, and Gnome falls back to it's default which looks very dated and unprofessional. This has happened to me intermittently on every version of Ubuntu I've used (which is most of them, including 7.10, which I'm using at the moment). I'm pretty sure that this timeout is caused by updatedb blocking the hard drive.
By the sounds of it this is getting sorted soon anyways, but I couldn't find any reference to this issue on Launchpad, hence this post!
