Setting Default System Theme

[jeff]

What file contains the default system theme? I mean, when you add a new user, 
they get that theme automatically instead of Bluecurve.

I've changed a number of files, but they don't do the trick:
/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
/etc/skel/.gtkrc
/etc/gconf/schemas/desktop_gnome_interface.schemas
/etc/gconf/schemas/metacity.schemas
/usr/share/themes/Default/gtk/gtkrc

Anyone? :)

Thanks,

-Jeff

make a test user, then make it look like you want (add backgrounds, 
fonts, icons etc.); then logout. Now copy that whole userfolder and 
replace etc/skel. Now, anyone that logs on gets whatever preferences 
that your test user had.

./sls

The files that get written in the userdir are gconf XML files that have that  
particular username in them, so they can't just be copied to /etc/skel. In 
other words, if user rms changes themes, the config files have the text "rms" 
in them--they are not generic changes that can be dropped into /etc/skel.

I realize that your solution points to a workaround, but Fedora sets the 
default to Bluecurve somehow/somewhere. I would like to change the default 
the Fedora way. :)
