FYI, I happened to figure this out today... the trick is
 1) give xpra a dbus session bus
 2) run gnome-settings-daemon connected to that bus

E.g. if I do
  dbus-launch xpra start :10 --start-child gnome-settings-daemon
then gtk apps in that xpra magically start being themed, so long as
gnome-settings-daemon is running.  (Curiously, the apps do not
themselves need to have access to that session bus.)

I'm not really sure how this works, but maybe it will be handy for someone.
