Nothing odd with that. That is where it should be. The "2.0" refers to
GTK 2 in general, and the "2.10.0" refers to the version of the GTK
module API.

Don't to that, it's pointless.

Doing that will certainly prevent the theme engine from being found.

Did you expect the "wimp" theme to automatically get used? It won't.
You need to either put the line

gtk-theme-name = "MS-Windows"

in your gtkrc file (either .gtkrc-2.0) in your "home" (profile)
folder, or etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc in the GTK+ installation folder), or call
some suitable GTK function from your application for the same effect.
