Jeff:

Is this perhaps caused by the fact that the installer actually launches as
root and drops permissions?  You might try placing the .gtkrc-2.0 file in
root's home directory to see if that fixes the problem for you.  If so, the
easiest no ubiquity code change solution for you would be to have a casper
script that does this for you.
