Public bug reported:

Under the "Theme" tab in gnome-tweak-tool should ba a setting "Current
Theme" to set the window decorators, but this option seems to disappeare
on some installations.

There are some discussions with a workaround on the net, but the cause is still 
unclear:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=167309

In my own tests I made an interesting observation:
I first made a test installation of ubuntu-gnome to an external disk in which 
the gnome-tweak-tool worked just fine. After I was satisfied with the result I 
just cloned the installation to my laptops internal disk and there the "Current 
Theme" options was gone. Since the internal and external installations are 
almost identical (except from a different LV group name) the significant 
difference is that the external disk connected via esata is a standard sata 
3.5" disk while my laptops internal disk i a ssd.
My guess would be a racing condition in the applications startup process, since 
the same code works when started from the conventional disk while doesn't when 
launched from the ssd.

Kind regards, Christian
