Hi,
I just installed gnome 2.14 and gnome-extra from testing, but when I log in, all icons are missing. Trying to change settings with the theme manager leads to the following error message: The default theme schemas could not be found on your system. This means that you probably don't have metacity installed, or that your gconf is configured incorrectly.
How do I reconfigure gconf correctly? I've tried to fire up gconf-editor, but I can't even see metacity under apps.
I should probably mention, that I've installed this on a freshly installed Arch, with no previous DE's installed
Regards,
Simon

No suggestions anyone?

not quite....
I understand you've a working installation except of the icons & misbehavior of gconf ?
Can you fire up gnome-theme-center from the cli and look if it gives you some errors ?

Blaavis, that didn't seem to do the trick, reinstalling xproto had no effect. System is completely up to date with testing repository enabled. If I try to run gnome-theme-manager from the console, I immediately get a pop up window, with the error message as in my first post, there are no error messages otherwise in the terminal.
This appears in /var/log/messages:
Mar 30 18:50:38 myhost (sims-2898): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/opt/gnome/et c/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" to a read-only configuration source at position 0
Mar 30 18:50:54 myhost (sims-2898): Resolved address "xml:readwrite:/home/sims/. gconf" to a writable configuration source at position 0
What else could I try?

I ended up removing gnome and gnome-extra and reinstalling them again, and things are now working, strange though what went wrong in the first place
