this is my .gtkrc-2.0, created by lxappearance:

# DO NOT EDIT! This file will be overwritten by LXAppearance.
# Any customization should be done in ~/.gtkrc-2.0.mine instead.

gtk-theme-name="Clearlooks"
gtk-icon-theme-name="Humanity"
gtk-font-name="DejaVu Sans 10"
gtk-cursor-theme-size=0
gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_BOTH
gtk-toolbar-icon-size=GTK_ICON_SIZE_LARGE_TOOLBAR
gtk-button-images=1
gtk-menu-images=1
gtk-enable-event-sounds=1
gtk-enable-input-feedback-sounds=1
gtk-xft-antialias=1
gtk-xft-hinting=1
gtk-xft-hintstyle="hintfull"
gtk-xft-rgba="none"
include "/home/max/.gtkrc-2.0.mine"

ok it seems that yad is working only with gtk3 theme.
on another pc with xubuntu 11.10 yad takes the gkt theme only if there is a 
gtk-3.0 folder inside the theme folder.
so i installed a gtk3 theme on the first pc with openbox, and this not worked.
in xfce there is no .gtkrc-2.0 file nor a gtk-3.0 folder, all settings are 
managed by xfce4.

if I can do more debugging please let me know how can i help :)

your build of yad use gtk3. as i see, last versions of lxappearance (0.5 and 
0.5.1) supports creating settings for gtk3. so possible solution is update 
lxappearance to the latest version

i already have lxappearance 0.5.1:

max@mini:~$ apt-cache policy lxappearance
lxappearance:
  Installato: 0.5.1-1
  Candidato:  0.5.1-1
  Tabella versione:
 *** 0.5.1-1 0
        500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/universe i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

this is my ~/gtk-3.0/settings.ini :

ps... in gtkrc-2.0 and in gtk-3.0 gtk-theme-name doesn't match because i 
changed the theme between the two posts :)
