Please, oh please, someone tell me how to change the fonts in gnome 3 now.
And I'd like to know how to change themes. This is not yet implemented, right? As this affects other desktops as well (think of gnome-packagekit), it should be high priority.
And shouldn't GNOME apps respect xsettings anyway and pick up changes made say with xfce4-appearance-settings or lxappearance?
GTK+ 2 and 3 respect the same theme and fonts settings as they always have. There is two things to keep in mind
1) The xsettings manager implementation in gnome-settings-daemon is now backed by dconf, no longer gconf. So to change, you can e.g.
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Clearlooks' gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name 'Sans'
2) The theme setting affects both GTK+ 2 and 3, and the only theme that is currently available for both is 'Adwaita'.
