same problem, solved installing kdm...or better reading this 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-gdm-themes/+bug/210538

from there:

the right answer for me
"Commenting the HumanList gtkrc gtk_color_scheme = line workaround the
issue, does anybody knows why this theme is not using the same gtkrc as
Human and if the line can be commented? the theme seems to not change
when it's commented"

just to put a # before "gtk_color_scheme"
i changed this file "sudo
gedit /usr/share/gdm/themes/UbuntuStudio/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"

hello
