I detected a message in .xsession-errors about searching themw "Clearlooks"
or something like that, greppped in my home for it and found in 
.config/dconf/user.

I removed .config/dconf, and theme is back to normal (apart from loosing a
lot of prefs), but now I can not set the focus to "sloppy" in tweak tool.
More precisely, I can set it but is ignored...
