Not too difficult. Open the gdm.conf file and look for a line that looks
like this:

	GtkRC=

It ought to be under the following section:

	[gui]

Now, edit that line to be of the following form:

	GtkRC=<path to a gtkrc file>

For example, to use the MorphiusX theme included with standard gnome,
	
	GtkRC=/usr/share/themes/MorphiusX/gtk/gtkrc

Good luck. Some day someone will write a gui to this. I think someone
already is part of the gdm cvs tree. In fact, I just checked, there
is. Except it is largely unfinished.
