[Bug 574296] Re: Gnome theme not applied on session start

Is a common factor here that Ubuntu is running on a SSD drive? If so, it's most likely the same issue reported in bug #625670 and bug #649809 as well. Affecting reasonably fast setups like Core i7 and an SSD boot drive. With the scenario that gnome-settings-daemon is running fine after startup

[Bug 649809] Re: Meerkat (10.10) does not apply theme properly

For the situation where gnome-settings-daemon is running fine after startup but theme settings are not applied. It seams this effect faster setups like Core i7 installed on SSD drives. This issue is also reported in bug #625670 and bug #574296 -- Meerkat (10.10) does not apply theme properly
