I don't think the buttons for the theme appeared for my install until i changed the following default setting in dconf-editor:

/org/gnome/desktop/applications/interface/buttons_have_icons true (default is false)
                                                                screensaver/idle-activation-enabled true
Also i had to make sure the xsettings in gconf-editor were set to true and

I had to change the key so that nautilus didn't control the desktop (so no drag and drop icons on the desktop from nautilus)
Other wise my cpus were cooking and install was freezing all the time. Oh and i had to create a couple of symlinks for the unity icons - seems there was a change of name from "groups" to "categories" preventing .desktop items to be found for non-standard applications i used in 11.04.

 I realise these are all just work arounds but at least unity is usable now.
