Getting Gnome themes respected when xhosting

[Eric House <fixin@peak.org>]

Scenario: Machine 1 running Gnome with theme 1; machine 2 running Gnome
with theme 2.  I run gtk/themes-aware application on machine 1 but
displayed on machine 2 via xhosting.

Expected result: application is rendered with theme 2 like all the other
windows on the desktop.  This is the proper model as established by X.

Actual result: application shows up with theme 1 and so looks different
from all the other apps on machine 2's display.  If I change themes on
machine 1, the application's appearance on machine 2 changes.

Is there anything I can do about this?

Is this the right place to ask?

Thanks,
