It is because this updates the X resource database. Xt based toolkits
like Lucid, picks these up. GTK does not use the X resource database
(a design error IMHO), but has its own syntax, names and files for
customizations as this. Please see the Emacs manual, X Resources ->
GTK resources for ways of doing this.
