I could tell you, but it's a bit complicated.   There is a gconf key,
/desktop/interface/gtk_theme.  It's utter hell to edit the gconf
defaults files by hand tho (whoever thought up XML for config files
should be kicked.  twice.), so you'll probably want to use the
appropriate tool, which is documented in the Admin Guide.  (short
answer: no, I don't know the exact specific command(s) to change the
default theme.)
