Created attachment 568073 [details] Screenshot of strange theme Description of problem: After installing FC 17 Alpha, and using my same home directory from an old FC16 install, the window manager theme is invalid and looks really old. Will include screenshot. Installing gnome-tweak-tool shows that no theme or shell theme has been chosen. I didn't use any strange theme in FC 16, just the standard Adwaita theme for window manager and gtk.
What does gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme say ?
[stef@stef-desktop ~]$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme 'Adwaita' I've since fixed the problem by installing and choosing Adwaita. The bug was about the upgrade not respecting my choices :S It's a hard one to reproduce...
Hmm, don't know why adwaita would have not been present on your f16 install. Not sure we can do anything about this...
