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);
       }
   }
