That is as expected. The GNOME 1.x control center had a hack
where it managed ~/.gtkrc but included ~/.gtkrc.mine and had a
comment in .gtkrc explaining that this file is generated, go
edit that one.
The problem is that your theme is one of the settings that should
be per display, not per host. That is, when running gedit on
host1 displaying on host2, the theme should not come from the
.gtkrc on host1 but from what was configured on host2's display.
The mechanism KDE and GTK use for this is called XSettings
(http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/xsettings.html). So the
theme is stored in GNOME's gconf settings, and when it starts it
sets the theme XSetting and all GTK apps pick that up.
We're drifting frightfully off-topic at this point...
