Followup-For: Bug #638817
Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 2.30.2-4
I am also experiencing this bug.
I do not fully understand what the issue is, but I think that it is an issue with libnotify rather than gnome-settings-daemon.
Running gnome-settings-daemon as root appears to be a workaround, and allows the gtk2 themes to be loaded.
I have also cc'd the libnotify maintainers.
