Ok, I found a solution. Themes go into
${HOME}/.themes/
for example ${HOME}/.themes/Grand-Canyon. The engines go into
${HOME}/.gtk-2.0/2.4.0/engines/
for example ${HOME}/.gtk-2.0/2.4.0/engines/libpixmap.so. That's all,
nothing else has to be done, gtk+ will automatically find the theme
engines now.
Oh, and if it still not works, do a
strace gedit >& gedit_strace.txt
grep pixmap gedit_strace.txt
(if you're using libpixmap.so), this should reveal more info (most
likely, you've installed an engine which needs a more recent libglib;
in that case, try to compile the engine yourself).
