Is a common factor here that Ubuntu is running on a SSD drive?

If so, it's most likely the same issue reported in bug #625670 and bug #649809 as well.
Affecting reasonably fast setups like Core i7 and an SSD boot drive. With the scenario that gnome-settings-daemon is running fine after startup but the theme setting are not applied.
