  sudo gconftool-2 --set --type boolean /apps/gnome-settings-
daemon/plugins/mouse/active false

does not work.

rebooted after both just to be sure (as I wasn't sure if the change was
immediate or not).

An observation:  When VNC is first launched, the theme I've chosen
displays fine.  When a new window is opened (say terminal or firefox or
any other app), I notice the theme reverts to a default them (presumably
because the settings daemon crashed?), then if the daemon successfully
relaunches, I get my themed desktop back.

One surefire way to crash the daemon for good is to launch firefox and
just wait.  the daemon repeated crashes and the themes go back and forth
about 5 or 10 times, then the dialog comes up saying the daemon crashed
too many times and is disabled, after which, I have a stable (but not
themed) desktop.
