[Bug 1010487] Re: Xubuntu - black windows

[Simon Steinbeiß]

OK, some new light on this: first off, applying the main changes from
this branch fixes the colors: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~xnox/ubiquity
/quantal-proposed

Then, the widgets still don't look like they're rendered by Gtk3 (see
attached screenshot). However – and this may sound a bit absurd – after
installing the light-themes package Greybird is correctly rendered in
Ubiquity.

I'm not talking about installing the light-themes package and setting
Ambiance or Radiance, just plain "sudo apt-get install light-themes".
After purging the light-themes package, we're back at what you can see
in the screenshot. I hope someone can explain this to me...

The only thing I can think of now is that xfsettingsd somehow doesn't
set the Gtk-theme correctly, as Gtk2 is also broken there (right-click
the window-border to test Gtk2) and installing light-themes triggers
some gconf switches...
