In my case changing screen resolution from 800x600 to 640x480 causes change of appearance.
Using Ubuntu 8.10.
uname -a
Linux ken-desktop 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 21:57:00 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
I am using the ubuntu's default theme Human. When changing screen resolution from 800x600 to 640x480 via System->Preferences->Appearance the screen appearance changes to that of theme Glider (the first listed by the Appearance GUI).
To produce: start Ubuntu, set resolution to 800x600 via System->Preferences->Screen Resolution. Then change resolution to 640x480 via same GUI. Appearance changes to Glider.
Work around: select System->Preferences->Appearance and do nothing. This causes the Human appearance theme to show.
I confirm this.
