Bug Description

Upon logout, the gtk theme switches to the default GNOME (or to Ambiance, if it's installed) for a few seconds before logging out, leading to a VERY ugly desktop.

Video shows the bug.

Not a graphics issue, occurs on all VMs and physical machines.

Turns out GTK falls back to settings specified in /etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini when no settings daemon is running.
