The rc file that comes with a theme does set default settings for
style properties - user ~/.gtkrc-2.0 will override the theme stuff.

Themes are intended to come with rc files. Engines are supposed to do
drawing according to the values in the style properties, they are not
supposed to affect the style properties.
