I'm sure there's a better way, but strace will let you see precisely  
what is happening, rather than guessing from what is supposed to be  
happening.

$ # first, with my system gtk+
$ pkg-config --modversion --variable prefix gtk+-2.0
2.4.14
/usr
$ strace -o log gtk-demo   # let it come up, then close it immediately
$ grep "rc\>" log | grep "^open"
open("/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 4
open("/home/muppet/.gtkrc-2.0", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 4
open("/usr/share/themes/Bluecurve/gtk-2.0/gtkrc", O_RDONLY| 
O_LARGEFILE) = 4
open("/usr/share/themes/Bluecurve/gtk-2.0/iconrc", O_RDONLY| 
O_LARGEFILE) = 5
open("/etc/pango/pangorc", O_RDONLY)    = -1 ENOENT (No such file or  
directory)
open("/home/muppet/.pangorc", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or  
directory)
$ # now with a more modern one, installed elsewhere
$ jhbuild shell
$ pkg-config --modversion --variable prefix gtk+-2.0
2.8.2
/home/muppet/sandboxes/gnome2
$ strace -o log gtk-demo
$ grep "rc\>" log | grep ^open
open("/home/muppet/.gtkrc-2.0", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 4
open("/home/muppet/sandboxes/gnome2/share/themes/Raleigh/gtk-2.0/ 
gtkrc", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 4
open("/home/muppet/sandboxes/gnome2/etc/pango/pangorc", O_RDONLY) =  
-1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/muppet/.pangorc", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or  
directory)


From this, i see that my system-wide gtk+ is using BlueCurve, but  
the built-from-source version in my gnome2 sandbox is using Raleigh.   
I can also see that it's searching for rc files in other places.
