What type of screen do you have?

There is no such binary in Nevada. Running gnome-appearance-properties
fails:

"Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'.
Without the GNOME settings manager running, some preferences may not
take effect."

Presumably because I'm exporting the X display. It does eventually start
(incredibly slowly), but any settings changes make no difference. (I'm
pretty sure I tested this before).

It might look better on 1600x display, perhaps?
