Public bug reported:

I'm on a new installation of xubuntu Natty.  When I first rebooted after
installing, the xubuntu-gdm-theme showed up correctly on the login
screen.  Since then, gdm has started ignoring those theme settings,
leaving the login screen with a black background and what looks like
default colors & icons on the panel bar.

I tried purging and reinstalling the following packages:

gdm
xubuntu-gdm-theme
xubuntu-artwork
xubuntu-default-settings
xubuntu-desktop

...but that didn't help.

I have verified that the xubuntu-gdm-theme settings are present in gdm's
gconf database...

$ for i in /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename 
/desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme 
/desktop/gnome/interface/buttons_have_icons 
/desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons ; do sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --get 
$i; done
/usr/share/xfce4/backdrops/xubuntu-greybird.png
elementaryXubuntu
greybird
true
true

...yet they seem to be ignored.

For comparison, I'm attaching screen shots of my (broken) gdm screen and
a correct one from a virtual machine. (Try to ignore the fact that
they're different screen resolutions.)
