You can check that with this command in a terminal or xterm window:
xrdb -q

Well, it's not the X system per se that recognises double clicks, that
is left to the applications themselves. Usually, that is, the
behaviour is determined by whatever toolkit the application is built
on. The multiClickTime resource is recognized by Xt, and perhaps not
by any other toolkit. So only applications using Xt will normally
obey it.
I don't know if or how you can make gimp use a different double click
time. If no one here can answer it, you may need to ask in a gimp
user forum. Surely, there must be one, somewhere?
Oh, I found out a bit more: Try putting
gtk-double-click-time = 500
in a file .gtkrc-2.0 in your home directory (and restarting gimp).
If that doesn't work, try putting double quotes aruond the 500.
I'll be damned if I can find a description of the proper format for
.gtkrc files anywhere: It seems they're supposed to be set by a GUI,
which is fine for gnome users, but unavailable when you're only
running standalone gtk apps.
