Bug Description
It's not possible to change the default GDM theme in dapper flight 5 (also confirmed for beta 2). I tried both gdmsetup and manually editing the config file in /etc/gdm, but everytime i restart gdm it still comes up with the default human theme
It seems that the Human theme has been hardcoded. Deleting the Human theme and selecting another throws and error at the login screen. The selected theme cannot be loaded and instead a default error login screen is used.

Works for me, and I was able to switch between the various gdm themes.
The one thing I noticed is that the UI of gdmsetup is a bit picky: you cannot simply click on the image of the theme you want to select it, but you have to go click on the tiny little button on the left-hand column to make sure the theme is selected.
