Guys,
For some reason, emerald has started crashing when changing themes in Gnome. It changes the theme just fine, but then crashes. (disappears - no error shown or in any logs). The crash occurs as soon as you click on a new theme to change it. This happens when you select the first theme 3/4 of the time. Other times, you can click on two, or maybe even three themes looking for the one you want before the crash occurs at other times. The result is the same, emerald-theme-manager just disappears into thin air. A restart restores emerald without error as well.
Same issue here - compiz standalone setup
Happens also without compiz, just latest gnome with metacity: starting "gnome-appearance-properties" yields "Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :0.0." and X crashes. Not yet sure what's causing this.

I know that there is a conflict in older versions of gnome/metacity/gtk and the gstreamer-ugly plugin, but I don't think that is the problem with the current Arch package. I don't know what the issue is, but I can confirm the appearance-properties crash as well. On my system, it crashes, the bug reporting tool comes up, I send the bug in, and then I can continue to use the appearance tool without further problems. I can also confirm that this behavior occurs on Gnome 2.2 and the current arch version.
It appears to be related to some ancient and incompatible configuration settings under $HOME/.gconf/, because the problem disappeared after I renamed ~/.gconf and restarted gnome/metacity. I have not tracked this down further though: I just copied over the settings I really care for, and left the rest in a backup. F
