Wouldn't that be /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc?

I could not find a way to use this file to allow both sets of icon (themes, actually).
Do you know how?  I don't want to necessarily replace sato, just allow the use of the
standard gnome elements.

n.b. there seems to be a bug in the GTK libraries that make them fail if the default
icons are not available.  It tries to render GTK_STOCK_MISSING_IMAGE for the missing
icons and this fails if there is no such icon available in the set (e.g. in sato).
On ARM at least, this is a fatal segmentation error.  Should I report this as a bug
in Poky?
