What do you mean by "set it up"? I tried copying
/opt/gnome/share/themse/Adwaita to ~/.themes and that had no effect,
and then I also tried deleting /opt/gnome/share/themes/Default and
replacing it with a symlink to Adwaita and neither one caused my Gtk
window to look any different.

Sorry if I was a little bit brash. I know it was running without a
theme and I know there's a sexy theme available, and I want it! That
was my entire point... the unthemed gtk is just awful.
