To get your config files try this (in your main function):

    /* print the config filenames */
    {
        gchar **config_files

        config_files = gtk_rc_get_default_files ();

        for (;*config_files != NULL; config_files++) {
            g_print ("config_file: %s\n", *config_files);
        }
    }
