That's a long lived dream of mine. So far I haven't found anything
suitable.

Such a tool could be really simple. You specify some settings in
a config file and then scripts are called to map these settings to the
configuration of different applications. Like
writing .gtkrc, .qtrc, .Xresources for xdm, xterm and companions and WM
configurations. It would even be possible to create themes that apply
to the whole environment at once. 

It could also be easily extended by the user by writing scripts to
configure additional applications.
