Hi Sergio,

No, that is not the case. You should be able to configure that via
gsettings and gconf files (at least I can do it here).

E.g. for the cursor theme modify/create the files
/etc/gdm3/custom.gconf-defaults and /etc/gdm3/custom.gsettings 
(both files will survive on update/upgrade of gdm3)
with the following content:

custom.gconf-defaults:
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/cursor_theme	DMZ-White

custom.gsettings:
[org.gnome.desktop.interface]
cursor-theme='DMZ-White'

The need for changing both defaults is mainly related to the fact that
neither metacity nor mutter are yet ported to gsettings (will be done
for gnome 3.4). 

Changing the gtk-theme should be done in custom.gsettings as the apps
loaded in the login session are gtk3 ones (gconf-values related to
gtk-theming apply only to gtk2 apps). Important is, that you figure out
the right keys and use the right syntax.

Hope this will help you.

Regards,

Gert
