Have just re-installed a fresh copy of 10.10 up-to-date as of today.  The bug still effects me.
After applying Kenneth's fix (see comment #68) all is working well.

I've done a little digging around, and it seems there is no elegant way to get it working.
I can't find an elegant way to get /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop to load after everything else.

The following doesn't enable one to choose which applications upon login to load in serial (or have requisite apps loaded beforehand):
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html

I did notice a symlink in /etc/xdg/autostart/nvidia-autostart.desktop that links with /etc/alternatives/nvidia-autostart.desktop
which in-turn links with /usr/share/nvidia-current/nvidia-autostart.desktop (see attached)
Which essentially has:
Exec=sh -c '/usr/bin/nvidia-settings --load-config-only'

I deleted the link /etc/xdg/autostart/nvidia-autostart.desktop to see if it made any difference.
It turns out it seems to make no difference at all if gnome-settings-daemon.desktop is configured to:-
* not start at all - get ugly theme
* start immediately (default setting) - get ugly theme
* start after 1 or 2 seconds (which is Kenneth's fix) - theme works nicely

I hope there's an elegant fix for all this, so it can be sent out to
patch other existing maverick users.
