    Status: Open => Answered

Sam proposed the following answer:
It's: human-theme
##discription via terminal:
$aptitude show human-theme
...
It pulls in the Cursor theme, the GTK theme and the Icon theme which gives Ubuntu the
Human look.

You may try successive
- clean up the cache, upadate packages list and upgrade
- reinstall the package ubuntu-desktop
- update icon cache:
e.g.
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/default
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/gnome
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/Human

alternative for any theme:
sudo touch -m /usr/share/icons/name_of_theme
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/name_of_theme

to unset (e.g. in case of login failure):
gconftool-2 --unset /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme
gconftool-2 --unset /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme
