I can confirm same behaviour. My laptop is sometimes connected to external LCD monitor. When I disconnect it and reboot I get strange resolution - after switching back to native resolution GTK theme is switched to some default (look, colours, icons).

Steps to reproduce:
1) Start Monitor Resolution Settings.
2) Change resolution to other than currently set.
3) Theme is set to default.
4) Side effects: when trying to reset the theme using "Appearance" applet this error appears: "Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon' [...]"; X crash after trying to start "Appearance" one more time; setting the resolution doesn't work any more.

Current solution: log out and log in again.

My hardware: Benq P52 laptop (AMD64, 2 GB RAM, ATI X1600 /fglrx/, Ubuntu 8.10).
