[~Solved]awesome gtk-coloc-scheme not taking (fully) affect

Hallo,
As I took for my lxde  open-box environement the clearlooks theme and adjusted it's colors to my liking I thought I could just use this same color scheme when I migrated to awesome.

For some not so obvious reason it just does not work.
The trail:
So at first I noticed that the configuration of the lxde-openbox environment was stored in ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/desktop.conf (If I remember correctly) this made me think: ok lxsession is applying all the gtk configurations so I'll let it do it with the awesome setup as same. The result was that just in the first tagged screen the coloring scheme and all was applied correctly as wished. But with the drawback that I could not use the awesome right-click menu on this tag. Also on the other tags it somehow had different gtk-themes loaded...
Well so I thought that I only install the same theme again and apply the same colour customizations again. Which also does not work out. It appears that the usual config file is the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and there is a line:
gtk-color-scheme= ...
So I know that this configuration file is loaded because when I write other things differently the changes are applied, only the gtk-color-scheme line does not affect anything...

So has anyone any idea how that might come? I really have no starting point of an idea...

Woohoo I'm running with my desired colors again
well the solution is not as "thought" maybe but quite simple^^ open the /usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc file and change it there ;-)

for some inexplanable reason it either overwrites the other coloring schemes in the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 or the other coloring scheme is just always ignored...
