    Broken: Settings > Appearance > Style

    I've been using the Greybird theme in Xfce 4.10 on Ubuntu 12.04. This morning when I booted up, I first noticed some of the panel icons had changed. The I realized the panel color and window title bars were a different color than greybird. Greybird is still highlighted in the settings manager, which won't change the theme no matter what I select. I discovered this is true for icons as well. Is anyone else having this problem? Better yet, any suggestions of how to fix it?

    This morning I booted my computer and everything was back to "normal," i.e. my originally chosen appearance and icon themes. I have no idea what happened: how and why they switched in the first place and how and why they switched back. And Settings > Appearance is no long frozen. Not sure what else to say except, yay.

    I have seen this in the xfce session and it is due to th window manager crashing . Because I run different sessions I see this once in a blue moon. The following command or restarting usually solves the problem.
    Code:
    xfwm4 --replace

    Frogs Hair, thank you! That's so logical that I don't know why it didn't occur to me, especially since I've had a few window manager problems recently. I'll keep all this tucked under my hat.
