All the files in the list except the first one only supply overrides
to default values, set in the first file. Apparently, Linux distributions
expect this file to live in /etc/gtk/gtkrc. Doing what you suggest is little
too true to the spirit of original code, as it does not solve anything and
does not fix anything. Neither Gnome nor KDE set default fonts in files
they write out.

Alternatively, we could hunt down all the /etc/gtk/gtkrc lovers in the 
tree and patch them to point to the right file instead, but I would still
prefer the big hammer solution proposed with my original patch.
