Well, it's slightly odd, but not really.
You see what is usually in the Bluecurve is really Fedora's gdm theme.
RedHat actually has a seperate little tarball and they install their gdm
theme as RHEL, and then make a link called 'Default' that points to RHEL.
We just took the same concept and put in SL and Scientific themes. (I
wrote SL, starting with William Somsky's logo. William wrote the other
one. We haven't decided which is best yet, and both will probrubly be
left in)
But since I didn't want someone accidentally having Fedora show up on
their screen, I put the Scientific theme and put it in bluecurve. I am
not quite sure why it's picking bluecurve on your kickstart. But it
should be fixed in the next release, which hopefully should be a
'criticize now cuz this is what you'll get' release.
