Guys, I must admit I jumped the gun a bit with my solution on #54. That is not the real fix.

To tell if your problem is the race condition I mentioned run the following 2 commands:

killall -9 gnome-settings-daemon
gnome-settings-daemon

At this point, your theme should be applied properly. Nautilus however should not be playing nice and still showing the ugly gray theme. Run these command, it will "reset" nautilus:

rm -vr ~/.gconf/apps/nautilus && killall nautilus

After this, your theme should be fully operational :)

If somebody could enlighten us on what exactly is causing the problem it would be great.
