Solution:

In /opt/gnome2/share/themes s-link into that folder any theme folder
that is for gtk2, and name the link "Default". In my specific case,
all the folders there are links to /usr/share/themes, but not
everything in _that_ folder is gtk2. I copied my favorite "Dirty-Ice"
from ~/.themes (after my own tweaking) into /opt/gnome2/share/themes
and added an s-link within the folder as "Default", as well.
