Fix Your Desktop If It Crashes When It Tries To Use A Cursor Theme V

i'm using suse 10.2 with a gnome desktop. a couple of times everything has crashed when i've been changing my icon theme and the desktop has tried to load a cursor theme by mistake. on my computer cursor themes and icon themes are in the same directory, so when i look at the icons theme it shows cursors themes too and tries to use them if you pick one by mistake!

i fixed it by going to one of the consoles -

ctrl-alt-F1 (ctrl-alt-F7 to get back to the GUI)

you login to that console, then run this -

gconftool-2 --unset /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme

that should be it, the icon theme will be reset to the default. however, i've never just run that by itself, i ran these two as well just to be sure -

gconftool-2 --unset /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme

gconftool-2 --unset /apps/metacity/general/theme

then reboot. i think it might be a rare problem because i haven't come across anyone else with that problem lol
