I had a similar problem on this machine from the upgrade
hardy-intrepid-jaunty.

I'm not sure where the problem originated from, but I ended up searching
in synaptic for 'human' 'theme' and 'gdm' and reinstalling just about
everything that I found & then rebooted.

For your issue, see:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-gdm-themes/+bug/337109

My version is:
$ apt-cache policy ubuntu-gdm-themes
ubuntu-gdm-themes:
  Installed: 0.32
  Candidate: 0.32
  Version table:
 *** 0.32 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

You can try:

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-gdm-themes

as you can't 'purge' the darn things without removing ubuntu-desktop:

$ sudo apt-get purge -s ubuntu-gdm-themes
