This happened to me when I migrated my Debian stable to testing (which ran GNOME 3); I never did find a way to make it behave, and finally gave up and wiped the install.

Thanks for the (depressing) news. I will have to look into what I can do without.

GNOME 3.x theming is still evolving and therefore you most

I should clarify: this was GNOME 3 running in fallback (i.e. "should be" GNOME 2). But somehow all theming was disabled and (it being that I had a theme engine configured, and it was present in the system and if I installed a theme manager I could deselect/reselect it) theme engines threw errors as if they couldn't be found. Or, integrating the above, that something is forcing the theme to something stupid and ugly, possibly in a misguided attempt to get people to throw everything (possibly including hardware) out and upgrade to the Glorious New Shiny. -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
