Guys,
For some reason, emerald has started crashing when changing
themes in Gnome. It
changes the theme just fine, but then crashes. (disappears - no error
shown or
in any logs). The crash occurs as soon as you click on a new theme to
change it.
This happens when you select the first theme 3/4 of the time. Other
times, you
can click on two, or maybe even three themes looking for the one you
want before
the crash occurs at other times. The result is the same,
emerald-theme-manager
just disappears into thin air. A restart restores emerald without
error as well.
Same issue here - compiz standalone setup
Happens also without compiz, just latest gnome with metacity: starting
"gnome-appearance-properties" yields
"Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :0.0."
and X crashes. Not yet sure what's causing this.

I know that there is a conflict in older versions of gnome/metacity/gtk and the
gstreamer-ugly plugin, but I don't think that is the problem with the current
Arch package. I don't know what the issue is, but I can confirm the
appearance-properties crash as well. On my system, it crashes, the bug reporting
tool comes up, I send the bug in, and then I can continue to use the appearance
tool without further problems. I can also confirm that this behavior occurs on
Gnome 2.2 and the current arch version.
It appears to be related to some ancient and incompatible configuration
settings under $HOME/.gconf/, because the problem disappeared after I
renamed ~/.gconf and restarted gnome/metacity. I have not tracked this
down further though: I just copied over the settings I really care for,
and left the rest in a backup.
