Hello!
I don't know wether there is an "official way" to do this,
but what you could do is save your modified gtkrc file to
a different place and set some shell variables
to tell gtk to use it instead of $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0 with
your application...:
GTK_RC_FILES=/path/to/different/gtkrc for gtk+-1.x applications
GTK2_RC_FILES=/path/to/different/gtkrc for gtk+-2.x applications
(to still use the same theme like your other GTK applications,
you may add something like
include "/usr/share/themes/<your-favourite-theme>/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
in front of your customized gtkrc file four your specific application.)
However, Gnome's application launchers doesn't seem to support
setting of shell variables, so you might have to create a small
shell script and start this script from the "Command:" field instead.
something like this:
---
#!/bin/sh
export GTK2_RC_FILES=/home/<you>/eclipse.gtkrc
/usr/bin/eclipse
---
that might do the trick
