login to the gnome cvs server, and simply check out gtk+, but tell it
to checkout the themes-2 branch.

cvs -z9 checkout -r themes-2 gtk+

is the way to so it. although, I dont really recommend using it as your
default gtk, since it is still pretty buggy and may result in some applications
breaking. (I cant make gimp work properly using it.)
