Just upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy twice: once using the online installer and once using an installation CD. My /home is on a separate partition so user preferences were unaffected. When I log into Hardy now, my theme is completely wrong. For example, I am using the generic "Human" theme. Note the square grey boxes:

If I click on another theme, then back to "Human" everything looks fine:

and continues to look fine when I open Nautilus:

However, as soon as I open something else (a PDF) everything breaks and I am back to where my message started.

I have removed my .gconf*, .gnome* directories but without luck. Perhaps this is related to the GNOME naming business, but presumably fresh installs do not have this problem - right? So, how do I go about fixing this? Seems like something too fundamental to let slide into a final release...
