Ubuntu 10.04 Default Themes aren't working

[Gabor Siffel]

The only 2 themes that work correctly are Ambiance and Radiance. In all the rest (Clearlooks, Dust, Dust Sand, New Wave, etc..) the theme works fine except that the panels (I have them on the bottom and the top) look like the panels in the Ambiance theme. At first, I thought that it was because compiz is messing it up, but I turned it off and it still didn't show correctly. Anyone else that has this problem? Anyone have a fix to this problem? Thanks...

I was looking around in gconf-editor and I came across this: apps>gnome-settings>gnome-panel. I have no idea what this has to do with anything but is it some setting of the gnome-panels that is messed up so the theme doesn't apply itself to it? HELP!!!

I found that when I go into theme>customize in appearance preferences all the controls are missing except for the one for Ambiance. All the rest have an image with a big question mark over them. ????????????? Here is a screenshot.... still need help.

could you check if gnome-settings-daemon is running? please also attach your ~/.xsession-errors file to the report, thanks in advance.

well.. I kinda cant do that anymore because I reinstalled Ubuntu 10.04 from the CD (along side with openSUSE 11.3) and now the themes in it are working just fine. I could even use themes that I installed. thanks anyway. if I have this problem again I'll be sure to ask again because I don't want to risk reinstalling it again...
