Until a few days ago, this was giving me a very pleasant xmonad experience with a little gnome seasoning. But, it also seems as if I can't adjust my gnome settings.

This happened to me when I migrated my Debian stable to testing (which ran GNOME 3); I never did find a way to make it behave, and finally gave up and wiped the install.

Thanks for the (depressing) news. I will have to look into what I can do without.

GNOME 3.x theming is still evolving and therefore you most probably have a theme which doesn't work correctly with the installed GNOME libraries. You can set a theme in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini. Try a default theme or one from gnome-look.org which supports your 3.2 or 3.4 GNOME version.
