You might be right. The way that ubuntu/gnome/gtk handle branding and
theming pretty much sucks, so I do feel your pain. We've had to wade through
a lot of undocumented packages to get it right. Even so, my guess is that
gconf is the missing piece of the puzzle you are looking for.

We at IYCC use gconf for our branding, and it works. Take a look at the
first six screenshots here: http://www.iycc.net/screenshots. You, however,
have a slightly different problem because you are working the other
direction, i.e., you are trying to follow the settings, not overwrite them.

wineconfig. Yuriy, one of the posters in this thread, is the author.

I actually took a stab at this project in the past, but decided that the
problem should be fixed in separate package, the way Yuriy did it. I
documented my reasoning, so take a look at the earlier postings in the
thread.
