Public bug reported:
This is a peculiar problem because local GDM login as well as LTSP thin-
client logins work fine. Only when I am logged in via VNC (vnc4server is
configured to spawn a new GDM session while tunneled through SSH over a
WAN) does this happen - and only after a Gutsy -> Hardy upgrade (This
issue is consistent with 4 newly upgraded servers). I created the post
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=569451 which describes my
setup. This method in Gutsy worked perfectly and immediately after a
Hardy upgrade, this behavior starts to happen.
After logging into Gnome, the theme constantly changes between the
default and another (not sure which, but it's pretty fugly) on its own.
Fonts, window borders, menus, etc. are constantly cycling back and forth
- usually when I open an app (say, Firefox) I will get the error message
shown in the screenshot below regarding gnome-settings-daemon.
Not sure what other information to give you - the various servers I take
care of are mostly the same hardware, but one is completely different -
yet experiences the exact same issue. Thanks for any help, and I'm glad
to provide any additional information to get this bug resolved.
