I've just a made a fresh Gutsy install on another PC, changed the theme
to Human List and the problem happened. It seems that it changes to
random mode and the themes Circles and Happy GNOME ar the defualt for
this option.

I think it happens when the configuration file is first changed, or
created, don't know how it's stored . The steps are the same above.

Taking another look to the image, besides the two themes mentioned
above, I noticed that the random theme mode was also automatically
selected.
