With the major problems out of the way, I started to make my lenny box look pretty. I downloaded a few themes and decided on one titled "ClearBloodline."
The install is straightforward: Click System -> Preferences -> Appearance and install a new theme. (You don't even have to unpack the file you downloaded)
I came across two problems - first, the window borders weren't changing. Secondly, the theme wasn't applying to the root terminal.
The first problem is easy: With the new theme installed and selected, click Customize then click on the Window Border tab. Select a different Window Border theme, then click back to the desired theme - the windows should update.
The second problem makes sense in hindsight. I just installed the theme logged in as a user other than root. The root terminal is running as root, and so is still using the default theme. To install this theme under the root account, you have to run the Gnome Appearance Properties as root. To do this, use the command:
gksu gnome-appearance-properties
Then install the theme the same way.
