Bug Description
Binary package hint: gconf
I installed the latest dapper updates today which has caused multiple problems:
1. First there are no icons in any of the menus anymore. When I go to 'theme' I get this message:
'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.'
I haven't changed gconf, and all was well prior to updates.
2. The mouse moves about an inch on screen for every foot on the desk!
Going to mouse and changing sliders make no difference.
3.Synaptic or anything that requires a password won't work. I get:
'Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic as user root:
Wrong password.'
The password is correct.
4. The terminal now looks really lousy. Gone are the menus to configure it.
5. alt&tab switching no longer works.
6. Apps no longer minimise to the task bar - they simply disappear.
7. Key-repeat gone. Holding down a key no longer repeats it.
8. In configuration editor, there is no key that has a schema.
