Sorry.

In brief: ~/.gtkrc-2.0 preferences are ignored in XFCE. This goes again
the documentation (XFCE FAQ), general GTK behaviour and user
expectations. What is worse, they are applied to all GTK applications,
including the pure ones like Sylpheed. Sylpheed's maintainer suggested
reassigning to xfce4 since it's an XFCE problem and doesn't seem to be
documented. And in my opinion, not honouring gtkrc-2.0 is bad
behaviour.

As I pointed out it's reassigned to xfce4 package since I don't for sure
the component responsible for this behaviour (my guess is
xfce4-settings). This was also Sylpheed's maintainer's suggestion. In my
last message is a summary of two possible solutions.

Please, feel free to ask me anything that may not be clear. And once
again, accept my apologies for not saying anything.
