Gtk+ apps should pay attn to your .gtkrc (use Control Center to change that) Don't know about Qt. Xt/Motif and Xt/Athena cannot be themed, but you can change the appearance with LD_PRELOAD replacements (e.g. xaw3dg) Most X apps support X resources, but they normally only affect colors and the like.
