You have two choices:
1. Keep your copy of ~/.gtkrc-2.0 (which looks like it was written by
the theme switcher) and put further customisations in
~/.gtkrc.mine
2. Replace the contents of ~/.gtkrc-2.0 with the following:
gtk-theme-name="Clearlooks_Cairo-Breathe"
gtk-font-name="Verdana 10"
gtk-icon-theme-name="Industrial"
and don't use the theme switcher again.
The second option certainly gives cleaner output.
