Hakim, I noticed when I edited my gdm.conf that this distro does not 
follow conventional wisdom.  A good example is not allowing root 
logins.  I didn't notice the themes you mention listed in the gdm.conf 
file, but then I was not looking for them.  You might check the 
gdm.conf file to see if they are in fact set there and you should be 
able to make the changes there if gdmsetup does not work for you.

Just a message from Doug...
