My understanding of this "mystery" is that style definition works in the 
most intuitive way: more specific widget selection for a style overrides 
less specific one. In other words, if you're setting a style for a 
concrete widget or widget class, this style overrides the style defined 
for all the widget types. Thus, your style definition for all the widget 
classes just gets overriden by more specific ones.
