Also running gnome-theme-manager (Main Menu / Preferences / Theme) produces an error dialog box containing: The default there schemas could not be found on your system. This means that you probably don't have meatcity installed, or that your gconf is configured incorrectly.
metacity-theme-viewer reports loading "Atlanta" theme.
Is there someway to get Bluecurve theme and associated settings back?
I asked:Does adding a new test user get what you want? If so, you may want to copy the ~/.gnome* and ~/.gconf* directories somewhere else and re-start X.
Mike replied:Unfortunately this made no difference.
A brand new test user still had the same problem. Even took the machine to run level 1 and killed gconfd and a few other processes before returning to run level 5 and testing the user for the first time.
Hmm. Since it's an upgrade, I assume that you're still on x86, not x86-64 (which might involve multi-arch issues).
What does rpm -V redhat-artwork and possibly rpm -V gnome-utils metacity show?
Correct assumption. x86 arch before and after.
These RPMs are installed and report no verification problems, hence Bluecurve is installed.
I have been doing some reading of Gnome, its configuration and GConf.
gconftool-2 -R / | grep 'no value set' | wc -l
Reports 554 unset values. Some of them look relevant. Is there a way to on mass reset all my GConf settings to those Bluecurve sets?
