Looks weird. could be that sawfish is managing your windows instead of
metacity.

Try this and see if it helps:

1) open a terminal
2) run this command: metacity --replace

At this point, metacity should take over management of your windows and
theme settings should work (System/Preferences/Appearance where you can
select the Human theme)
