Thanks Kevin, I think you are right.

I manually started gnome-settings-daemon in a vnc session like this:
 /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon
--gconf-prefix=/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/settings-manager-plugins
Everything works fine. I don't know what the param means, I just did a
ps ax|grep gnome-settings-daemon and it showed this.

But if I started it like this:
/usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon
The theme will initially change to what I've chosen, with some warnings:
  ** (gnome-settings-daemon:2745): WARNING **: XKB extension not available
  ** (gnome-settings-daemon:2745): WARNING **: Neither XKeyboard not
Xfree86's keyboard extensions are available,
  no way to support keyboard autorepeat rate settings
  ** (gnome-settings-daemon:2745): WARNING **: Connection failed

Then switched back to nodoka with an error message after a little while:
  The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error.
  This probably reflects a bug in the program.
  The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 557 error_code 3 request_code 20 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
