And yet another ... if you want to change the default theme (this will also affect the GDM login screen), edit the file /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme. under [Icon Theme], change the Name setting to the name that appears in the Appearance menu. Not sure if it's necessary, but I also changed the Inherits value to the folder of the theme in the /usr/share/icons directory. Here's my index.theme Icon section.
[Icon Theme]
Name = DMZ (White)
Comment = Nice White Theme
Inherits = DMZ-White
This combined with the above changes to the desktop->gnome->peripherals->mouse->cursor_theme key now gives me a consistent DMZ (White) theme through login and my session.
