What a curious point. You want your program to display itself using a GNOME
theme but you don't want to run any GNOME daemons to do it. It is a bit like
complaining that you cannot run a KDE program without the KDE libraries
installed.
Actually, GTK+ is a little more accommodating than KDE, because you can set
styles and fonts and the like by hand by amending or providing
{gtkdir}/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc to specify them.
But as someone else has pointed out, it is better to start
{gnomedir}/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon in the start-up script for whatever
environment you are running your GTK+ applications in (such as the startkde
script), which will pick up all your GNOME settings, including fonts and
styles. You do not explain why you have a problem with that.
