Comment:
Since going from breezy to dapper.
The filesystem is ext3. gconf (i think) "The settings daemon" "has restarted too many times". I didn't make that up, I get a dialog telling me that (and it seems so, since it is applying my theme, then removing it, then applying it etc). But gconfd is still there if I use ps. So. I don't know if it has crashed really.
Themes don't work and the panel is frozen (yet for instance netload applet is showing and "running", but thep panel doesn't take mouse input).
Note; this applies even on a newly created temporary user, so it's probably not any "weird" settings I have personally.
