gnome change theme error

When trying to change my gnome theme in FC2 tst 3 i get:

The default theme schemas could not be found on your system. This means that you probably don't have metacity installed, or that your gconf is configured incorrectly.

This happened after installing 105 updates through up2date. Before that everything was fine :(

Any thoughts on where to look for the problem? I'm no linux expert so any help is appreciated

How about trying this script:

#!/bin/bash
# Reset GNOME schemas to default values

for i in /etc/gconf/schemas/* ; do
GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=`gconftool-2 --get-default-source` gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule $i > /dev/null
done

i tried it: got this output

deech, this bug is already in Bugzilla, but unfortunately, there's no resolution for it yet. Could you please add your details to the following bug report, mentioning what OS release it's triggered the bug in (FC2t3).

http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=112467

Hm. I suppose the obvious; that metacity is installed, right? Yea, of course it is. :o

Well, the 105 updates must have included soem gnome-* packages, no? I would suggest either:

a) downgrade these updated gnome packages for now

b) put up with it and just wait for FC2 final next week. :D

a) would probably solve your problem but is not worth it since it's a test release after all..
b) is probably more practical since this problem *should* not be there for the final release.

i think i ll go for plan b. Dont have time to dig deeper into this, and you're right, it should be no problem in the final FC2.

Thanx again anyway,

greetings from holland ;)
