gnome-appearance-properties was used in older gnome releases prior to
version 3 I assume.  I did not (consciously) set the theme via
gnome-appearance-properties.  I did only what I posted before.

This is way too cumbersome for my taste.  I can't believe that a key
gnome app like evolution does not have a simple interface customizer.
Or at least would pick up dark theme settings other gnome apps had no
trouble dealing with.

Thanks for your thoughts on this.
