I use Gnome 2.6, and I don't have these resources.  I recall seeing a 
program that attempted to synchronize theme settings between Gtk 2, Gtk 
1, Xlib and KDE at one stage, but I didn't like it and uninstalled the 
package.

To me, more specific settings in /etc/X11/app-defaults/X5250 seems like 
the "right" way to do it.
