I am having problems with Fluxbox+GTK+RH 8.0. The problem is that I cannot seem to set the theme of GTK programs in Gnome and have that same theme be used in those same programs under fluxbox. For example Galeon uses the theme when I boot under Gnome, but it uses the default blue curve when I boot under fluxbox... what am I missing?

Are you logging in as the same user? Maybe Gnome likes to keep all its config files in a different folder, or you have a different home directory under gnome?

Same user... and why would gtk keep different folders for different window managers?

gtk doesn't necessarily, but gnome does. It is usually stashed in .gnome folder in your home directory.

Try looking for a file named .gtkrc under the ~/.gnome folder. Once you find it, create a link to it named ~/.gtkrc (be sure to rename ~/.gtkrc first in case this doesn't work and you need to revert).
mv ~/.gtkrc ~/old.gtkrc
ln ~/.gnome/.gtkrc ~/.gtkrc
This is assuming the GTK resource file that Gnome is using is under .gnome.

BTW, ~/ is a bash reference to your home folder.
