`widget_class' is the keyword to add a style to a wildcard pattern that
matches against a parent.child path of a widget, e.g.

GtkWindow.GtkHBox.GtkButton

`widget' is the keyword to add a style to a wildcard pattern that matches
against a parent.child path made up of gtk_widget_get_name(), e.g.

GtkWindow.GtkHBox.Label (if you named the button "Label" like in your
                           above example)

so you would like to use "*Label" as a pattern for your code.
