Well, I have found that regardless of what GTK theme I use in the main GTK installation, Inkscape uses its own,
Inkscape includes a whole seperate copy of GTK. This means a simple and straightforward single package. This is good for testing and as things stand there has not been an official stable release so we do want people to update regularly and test things.
That said it would be nice to have a version of Inkscape that used the shared GTK (and to still retain the existing all in one package for testers) but at the moment I think it is more important to have a package that is easy to distribute and install and so that people will be able try it out and not be asking about missing pieces or needing to do a two (or more) stage install.
GTK Wimp has some annoying font problems on certain versions of Windows. If we switched over we would certainly be hearing about them instead (probably worth it but anyhow ...)
With previous versions of Inkscape I was able to follow the GTK Wimp instructions and if you put gtkrc files and other in the right place (relative to Inkscapes copy of GTK, not the shared copy of GTK) they will work.
