Bug Description

After Ubuntu installation, I add a new GDM theme. The first time I set GDM to use it, after reboot another theme is set (don't remember if is it Circles or Happy GNOME). When I go to gdmsetup the themes Circles and Happy GNOME are selected. After I unselect them, reselect the theme I added and reboot it works fine.

I'm using Gutsy, but I noticed that happens on older versions too.

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

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.

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.

Could you test this one? That's the theme I found the issue.

It works fine also with that theme on Hardy, is there any chance you may test the same with a Hardy Installation?
