This is a "me too" report. On my laptop running Ubuntu Lucid, my findings is that the problem always occur upon wake-up (resume) process, after I have moved my laptop (while in sleep mode) from one wi-fi area (e.g.: home) to another wi-fi area (e.g.: work), i.e. when network-manager has to change the connection to the newly available pre-registered SSID (which often fails). Then, all the gtk apps revert back to to default (ugly!) gtk theme. In order to get the ambiance theme back, I have to open the theme applet. The problem doesn't seem to happen otherwise.
