Hi Thomas ... I don't run Gnome Shell but I run GTK apps in Fluxbox +
Debian Unstable and to get my chosen GTK theme - "Zukitwo"  - to work
there are 2 files I had to create:

* ~/.gtkrc-2.0
* ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

... plus some themes are only GTK2 and GTK3 apps will not be styled
properly (Zukitwo supports both GTK2 + GTK3).

Maybe check that both those files are present on your system and your
chosen theme supports both versions of GTK?
