I just encountered this. My basic suggestions would be:

1) Change "Appearance Settings" to "Desktop Settings" in the context menu for
the desktop.
2) Provide a button or hyperlink in the Desktop Theme Details area that
directly opens the Desktop Settings dialog.

I'd actually go further than this - IMO:

3) Desktop Settings should be one of the panels in the Desktop section of
System Settings, maybe titled "General". Selecting Desktop Settings from the
desktop context menu should open System Settings with this panel visible. 
4) Desktop Theme Details should be moved out of the "Advanced" area to become
another panel in the Desktop section, as above.

As it stands, the current layout of various desktop options being scattered so
far apart is very confusing, even to a long-term KDE user like me, and I
imagine it would be extremely difficult for a new user.
