Bug appears to be due to the GUI representing the wrong default value.
If there is no gconf key set for /desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds the
'System - Administration - Login Screen' shows 'Play Login Sound'
unchecked, but gconf reports true for the value.
To reproduce:
# Unset the config key
That option is working as expected, it disables the ubuntu login theme.
However, drums are still played.

I wonder if there is some confusion here to what exactly is the login
sound. The double drums as the login screen appears is played (if at
all) by gdm and is configured in System-Administration-Login
Screen-Play login sound.
The sound tune played after you have successfully entered the password
I don't think there is any confusion. On a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10
the double drums play when the GDM login screen appears. Once the user
logs in and goes to System-Administration-Login Screen-Play login
sound the user can see that the option is unchecked, yet the double
drums will continue
Successful login sound (Ubuntu theme) can be disabled (on Maverick 10.10) via:
rename desktop-login.ogg (/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo) to
desktop-login.ogg_bak
for the drums
rename system-ready.ogg to system-ready.ogg_bak
It's a regression should be fixed - the GUI methods do not work.
