Ok I discovered that solution to cause an alternative problem:
 Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_style_detach: assertion `style->attach_count
> 0' failed

Which caused me to the first two of the last three lines (ie without
gtk_widget_set_style).

The docs for gtk_style_attach say:
"Since this function may return a new object, you have to use it in
the following way: style = gtk_style_attach (style, window)"

So what am I meant to do with it?
