bugsquad (In reply to comment #2) > Yes, theme cannot be changed. So the problem is in Oxygen. Oxygen has undoubtedly some flaws, but the described problem surfaced after Gnome update to 3.3.90 (no Oxygen related packages were updated in this time frame). I am certain it has been possible to change the 'Shell theme' using 'Advanced Settings' in Gnome 3.3.4 and I assume it was possible in Gnome 3.3.5 too. But now it is no longer possible. Therefore some gnome related change or other package submitted in the last two days broke the theme shell functionality (with other words, I doubt that Oxygen has a connection with the inability to switch to a different theme; or if it has, this is a bug which got exposed in the last two days). As a temporary solution, is there any workaround to change shell theme manually? (yes, I know this is bugzilla and not a user support forum) Oxygen looks awful in Gnome 3 (Olav, you also wrote a message in the mageia dev mailing list about that not long ago but I haven't seen any reaction). Ah, I totally misread your initial messages (in a hurry). It could be a fallout from bug 4648. Could you try with gnome-settings-daemon 3.3.90-3? And with theme cannot be changed I meant that only if you (which you do) know about "gnome-tweak-tool", you'll be able to change the theme. In GNOME 3, it is difficult to change the theme and so the default should just look nice.. not consistent. CC:

You were right. I installed 'gnome-settings-daemon-3.3.90.1-3.mga2' then log out, log in and the problem went away (the theme was changed back to the default Adwaita automatically, without any interaction from my part). Bug 4667 (https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4667) does not apply for me. However, I was somehow inaccurate in Comment 3. There is a warning triangle next to the 'Shell theme' and if I hover the mouse over it it say "Shell user-theme extension not enabled" (attachment in Comment 5). Nothing happens in this aspect even if I install the package 'gnome-shell-extensions' (which pulled about 16 packages about extensions in total). My Cauldron was installed from Mageia 2 alpha 3. I am not very sure, but I think that Gnome Tweak Tool (Advanced Settings) was installed by default. I've marked this bug as resolved-fixed. I made a few more tests. If I change the 'GTK+ theme" (see the attachment in Comment 5) from 'Adwaita (default)' to 'Oxygen-gtk' and then back to 'Adwaita (default)', both <mgaapplet> and <net_applet> will segfault. If someone request, I will open a new bug for this segmentation fault. Status:
