Is this happening to anyone else, every time I restart my computer the default icons are back in the launcher. It's annoying having to re-configure every time :(

There is a thread on this 'Panel Icons'

Your not alone.

Ah I saw it but got mislead by the title, I thought it was an issue with the panel and not the launcher. Thanks for the heads up

Don't think this is terribly unexpected, you're no longer using natty and nothing resembling O at all

I guess if I was doing so i'd ck. a few things. - As soon as you add or remove a shortcut from the launcher (icon), it should be immediately seen in either dconf-editor or gsettings

gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favorites

So I'd ck. that If it is then maybe boot to text login, login and re-run the above command and see what it shows

Worst case just create a gsettings set command to run just after login (could be added to startup apps

Downgrade libdconf0 to the version from natty. There's something wrong with the oneiric package - gsettings is not recognizing the dconf backend and so defaults to a read-only in-memory backend.

sudo apt-get install dconf-gsettings-backend

Ah - so this logic was refactored into a separate package, and the appropriate package dependency is missing. Thanks.
