Selecting a theme other than MurrinaStormCloud results in the default gtk theme being used instead of the actual theme.

I'm not sure if this is true. Which gtk engines do you think are missing specifically?

I suppose that'd be Clearlooks and I believe also the Xfce one, but that one is listed at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/8.10/beta/xubuntu-8.10-beta-desktop-i386.manifest

I've just confirmed that we ship all the gtk2 engines. It seems like the bug is caused by something else. Can you take screenshots?

Sorry, I don't know what caused it earlier but I'm running in the same beta right now and it works just fine. Apologies for the waste of time...

I have the same bug in Ubuntu Jaunty.

When I choosecertain themes, the currently open windows are themed accordingly, but all new windows use the default GTK-Theme. I don't know if any theme is saved permanently.

Darklooks and Darkroom don't work, all standard themes seem to work correctly.

dasmaze - in general, it is better to open a new bug report rather than resurrecting one that was previously closed. It makes it difficult to triage because the bug ends up containing 2 separate conversations. Anyway, could you please attach a screenshot please?
