[SOLVED] Cinnamon appearance settings not working.

I have a strange problem concerning Cinnamon 2.2.0-1 from [community-testing], in which some appearance settings simply do not work. Specifically, I can't change icons or gtk theme, and making any change in cinnamon-settings has no effect whatsoever on the system. I've tried changing the appearance with lxappearance to some success - now the panel and some Gnome3 applications show the selected theme and icons, but the rest of the applications keep the old appearance settings. I have no .gtkrc files in my home folder and I start Cinnamon from LightDM.

This is the output from running cinnamon-settings from a terminal:

arachnid92 %> cinnamon-settings                                             [~]

** (cinnamon-settings.py:3156): WARNING **: Couldn't register with accessibility bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

Re: [SOLVED] Cinnamon appearance settings not working.

I'm experiencing the same issue right now with the release on the non-testing repo. Will look into it tomorrow, see if I can find something...

Confirming the same issue with same terminal output. Looking Glass does not report any errors. I wonder if it has to do with the fact that cinnamon-control-center has not yet been upgraded to 2.2.

Re: [SOLVED] Cinnamon appearance settings not working.

Confirming @Arachnid92's problem.

I've got a whole raft of problems with the latest update, which I've listed here.

EDIT: I'm going to wait until these two are updated before I start reporting bugs, purely because it may just be that not all the updates have been pushed at the same time.

Good to know, I'm having the exact same issues. So it may very well be the problem you just described.

Re: [SOLVED] Cinnamon appearance settings not working.

[community testing] has been updated with the missing packages and everything works now!
