GNOME 3.x theming is still evolving and therefore you most

I should clarify: this was GNOME 3 running in fallback (i.e. "should be" GNOME 2). But somehow all theming was disabled and (it being that I had a theme engine configured, and it was present in the system and if I installed a theme manager I could deselect/reselect it) theme engines threw errors as if they couldn't be found. Or, integrating the above, that something is forcing the theme to something stupid and ugly, possibly in a misguided attempt to get people to throw everything (possibly including hardware) out and upgrade to the Glorious New Shiny.
