error loading the theme Default, fedora 4 test 2

Just installed Fedora 4 test 2 with Gnome as the only window manager. Everything was working great. I ran up2date -u, which updated all my rpm's including the gdm's. After a reboot I get the error message:

"There was an error loading the theme Default"
Can't open file /usr/share/gdm/themes/Default/Default.xml

Then it loads the default theme greeting (happygnome?) which doesn't work. So I ctrl + alt + F5 over to terminal and navigate to /usr/share/gdm/themes and low-and-behold, no Default directory. There is a Bluecurve directory with Bluecurve.xml which is what I would like to default to.

What config file do I need to get my hands on to make this happen?

TIA (Thanks In Advance)

Thanks, I doubled checked the gdm.conf and saw in the greetings  sections that it was using Default theme for the greeting, but referring to Bluecurve.xml. I changed Default to Bluecurve and presto.
