Ah, this is the first time you mention Cygwin. Are you running gnucash 
and the theme selection tool from within cygwin as well ?

Where is cygwin installed ?

I have no explanation for that currently...

That is an interesting observation.

However I have another theory about the file you found, but I can't be 
sure until we test.

The way to be sure this file is really written by the theme tool is 
this:
- make a copy of the file so you can revert back to it if needed
- run the theme tool and choose another theme than is currently in the 
gtkrc file
[Note: on my test system the theme tool asks for confirmation to 
overwrite my previous file, which still is
c:\Documents and settings\<user>\.gtkrc-2.0
as explained in the documentation]
- reopen the gtkrc file you found and check if the theme has been 
changed.

What is the result now ?
