[Bug 29061] Re: Theme schemas corrupted or missing

[Uphaar Agrawalla]

$ gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme /apps/metacity/general/theme /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme

My theme was also ruined, but that was fixed by removing metacity
completely and reinstalling it.

The applets on the panel were also messed up at the same time - the
window list applet had disappeared and would not get added back. Had to
do a re-install of gnome-panel and gnome-applets to get it back.

Also, gnome-terminal behaviour changed - it's now having a yellow
background instead of white, not having the menu bar anymore.

To add to all this, I'm unable to run any apps from the menu, as when I enter the user password I get a dialog saying: "Failed to run disks-admin as user root:
 Wrong password." - it happens for all apps under System->Admin menu. If I run it from terminal using sudo, it works fine. Not sure if it's a different bug, so pls. let me know and I'll fine a seperate report. 

All these things started happening at the same time suddenly, which is
why I think they might be related.

I'm currently running the final Dapper release. Started having the issue
suddenly one day (I was running Flight 7 then). It was fine the day
before, but started acting strange on the next day.

In a nutshell, it seems a whole lot of my settings got messed suddenly.
