These show up as attributes, not properties - try dir(st) instead.

However, poking the style directly can get tricky. I think you'll find
playing with the modify_bg and modify_base methods on the widgets a
lot less trouble.

Note that gtk.TreeView's use the base color (not bg) for the part
containing the cell renderers, so, if you want to change the selection
colour there, use modify_base.
