Here I get a "no value set for '/desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_color_scheme'

:(

As much as I appreciate your help (and will no doubt find the other 
gconf elements valuable later on), after I posted I realized that the 
Lambert Method will work:  enough LC objects take on the appropriate 
hilite color automatically (like default buttons, checkboxes that are 
set, and others) that I should be able to use those to get what I need.

The extra advantage of the Lambert Method is that it'll (hopefully) work 
under KDE as well as Gnome.
