In Gtk-3 GtkStyle was replaced with GtkStyleContext

http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/GtkStyle.html

But AFAIR some compatibility was retained, so I thought this should have
worked....

I do remember something like this in past requiring the widget to first
be realized/shown before the style information was available
