How tested?  I'd test it too, just wanna get sure we are doing it in
the same way.


Just a wild idea:
maybe this is some kind of race condition in the startup code? Maybe
the theme is set before xfce4-settings read the actual theme name?
Maybe this is related to the parallel startup stuff.
But I didn't do anything to proof this guess and didn't even read any
code, so this might also be completely wrong :).

Enrico
