Yes, this is the right thing to do. (The call to gtk_rc_set_image_loader()
in gnomeui was always dubious, since themes that relied on it wouldn't
work with apps like the GIMP.)

This doesn't work. Symbols prefixed with gtk_ are not exported from
the GTK+ library.

The code flow for gnome-init isn't clear to me on brief inspection.

If gtk_rc_add_default_file() can possibly be called before gtk_init(),
it should be. In which case, no further action is needed.

If it has to be called after, you probably should call
gtk_rc_reparse_all() instead. But that's very ugly.
