[Bug 969569] Re: lucid to precise: Ugly desktop after upgrade

The issue here is that there is no gtk3 implementation of Clearlooks.
This is going to be a problem for pretty much everybody who has
installed and enabled a custom gtk2 theme in Lucid and then upgrades to
Precise.

I honestly believe that we shouldn't migrate the theme preferences from
gconf to gsettings, and just accept that custom theme settings will
reset to the defaults on Lucid -> Precise upgrades. I know we normally
try to preserve user settings on upgrade, but this is still much better
than leaving (possibly a significant minority of) upgraders with a
broken theme.

Title:
  lucid to precise: Ugly desktop after upgrade

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “update-manager” source package in Precise:
  New

Bug description:
  Lucid to Precise upgrade i386 on hardware

  After upgrade, restart and login the deskop doesn't really look nice.
  Before upgrade I changed the background image to BosqueTK.jpg and the theme to Clearlooks which are both standard on Lucid.

  The resulting desktop has a blue background, the titles on the top
  panel overlap (like if the panel didn't refresh), track of the overlay
  scrollbar is black, window buttons are on the right, text of the
  gnome-terminal is black on black,  gnome-control-center has broken
  icons and white areas on grey background and many other components of
  the deskop look really bizarre.

  To summarize, the desktop should restore sane defaults after upgrade
  if the initial state cannot be kept.
