This is one of the most persistent problems I have had. When I log-in, my default theme has changed to a blockier theme, and a lot of my customisation is gone. When I tried to start 'appearance', I got the following error:

"Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'.
Without the GNOME settings manager running, some preferences may not take effect. This could indicate a problem with Bonobo, or a non-GNOME (e.g. KDE) settings manager may already be active and conflicting with the GNOME settings manager."

How can I fix this?

Please? I know this might be a stupid question, but I really can't find any information about how to fix this.
