I just encountered this same thing and used a similar work-around.  I 
just logged into a Ctrl-Alt-F1 terminal, created a link named Default to 
the Bluecurve directory, and inside the Default directory, created a 
link named Default.xml to the Bluecurve.xml file.  I guess the file link 
isn't necessary if David got it to work the way he described.

The message when arriving at the login screen was can't find 
/usr/share/gdm/themes/Default/Default.xml.

It then displayed an alternate login screen, but did not allow entering 
a user name into the dialog field.
