Instance init is too early to get style properties (though I suppose
you could call gtk_widget_ensure_style there), you need to wait until
'style-set' is called. You should implement the style-set default
handler anyway to work with theme changes.

Unless you change widget hierarchies based on the style property it
should be enough to access the property in size-request, size-allocate
and expose.
