Besides the list of solutions which can answer your question which can be found to this similar question.

Another way to achieve that is the following:

Open terminal and login as root:

sudo -i

Type:

chmod 744 /usr/bin/ gnome-appearance-properties

To restore:

chmod 755 /usr/bin/gnome-appearance-properties

  • restore "gnome-appearance-properties" by typing the second command – dlin Jul 20 '12 at 10:50
  • i got not installed "gnome-appearance-properties", or in my /usr/bin & /usr/sbin don't appear. In 10.04 y solved the problem with gconf-editor, but 12.04 it don't works. But with the @tijybba reply i solve almost completely, the firefox part i solve with a addon called "menu-editor", is not the best way to solve it, but works!! – eversman Jul 20 '12 at 11:30
