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.
To see what kind of program: (non toolkit stuff deleted)
