It cannot be disabled from the .gtkrc file currently. You can configure
GTK+ to use never use XSHM, by running ./configure with the --disable-shm
cflag.
However, the lack of the xshm extension should be automatically detected,
and a fallback should be used. Specifying --no-xshm should never be
necessary.

(The RC file format is documented at:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/gtk/gtk-resource-files.html
But I don't think think there is anything really relevent there.)
