i can confirm this problem in the latest vmware fusion. livecd is fine,
login looks great, seconds later the theme crashes and im on ugly
square.
this does not happen if i kill gdm and startx as my user. only happens
if i log in via gdm. (which always seems plauged, eh?)

no crash log is generated with that apport thing.
i notice when i login via gdm and it crashes, the network never shows up
in the system tray.
when i console login and startx, the network icon does show in the
system tray.
culprit?

also noting if i tell the login manager to automatically log in as me,
it does not happen. so somehow this is related to the gdm login login
screen.
