Changing GTK propertiess from different WM

Is there a way to change the GTK Font and GTK Theme properties from a different WM without using gnome-font-properties or gnome-theme-manager?

Edit:
I hope this is in the right forum...

If you have gnome installed there are a bunch of utilities for controlling fonts and such.

They all are pretty much named gnome-something.

Like
gnome-font-properties
gnome-theme-manager

You can just go:
gnome-
then hit tab button a couple times to get a full listing of various commands it offers. If it exists in the Gnome menu then it exists as a program you can launch from the command line.

When you start one of these it will have the side effect of launching gnome-settings-daemon and maybe a couple other things so that all your gtk-using applications should then start automaticly reflect the changes you make.

If you do a ps aux you can see the entire command that is used to launch gnome-settings-daemon so maybe you can copy and paste that into your .xinitrc file to launch it or do it some other way.

Otherwise there are other ways to do it like cleverhandle describes, but I am to lazy to bother learning that sort of thing. :/
