I have a similar problem in Jaunty my theme not displaying correctly.
When I use the 'guest' account everything is fine. gnome-settings-
daemon is failing to load for me - and that is surely the cause of the
theme problem here. I can't determine why gnome-settings-daemon isn't
loading though, because --debug doesn't output anything and the process
silently fails to start.
After reading this bug report I decided to investigate: (with strace -ff
gnome-settings-daemon)
[pid 18991] open("/home/mjohansson/.config/monitors.xml", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE)

[pid 18991] fstat64(15, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=479, ...}) = 0
[pid 18991] read(15, "<monitors version=\"1\">\n <configu"..., 479) = 479
[pid 18991] close(15) = 0
