Well, this logic has already been implemented in GTK+ - 
it is used for the RC files in the default locations:

 $sysconfdir/gtk/gtkrc
 ~/.gtkrc
 
and additionally, for any RC files added with
gtk_rc_add_default_file(). So, GNOME could
just use gtk_rc_add_default_file().

(On a related topic, should we "deprecate" ~/.gnome/gtkrc
 now that all GTK+ programs look at ~/.gtkrc by 
 default?)
