Setting styles in Gtk 3.0

[Dov Grobgeld <dov grobgeld gmail com>]

Hi,

Has something changed with the setting of styles in Gtk3, or is there some environment setting that inhibits the setting of the style? Consider the following python program:

#!/usr/bin/python

from gi.repository import Gtk

Gtk.rc_parse_string("""
style "normal" {
    font_name ="serif 30"
}
widget "*" style "normal"
""")

mw = Gtk.Window()
mw.connect('delete-event',Gtk.main_quit)
mw.add(Gtk.Label('Hello Gtk %s!'%Gtk._version))
mw.show_all()
Gtk.main()

The font is not "serif 30" as I requested. Nor can I change any other style settings this way.

In contrast, the following gtk2 program works as expected:

#!/usr/bin/python

import gtk as Gtk

Gtk.rc_parse_string("""
style "normal" {
    font_name ="serif 30"
}
widget "*" style "normal"
""")

mw = Gtk.Window()
mw.connect('delete-event',Gtk.main_quit)
mw.add(Gtk.Label('Hello Gtk %s!'%str(Gtk.ver)))
mw.show_all()
Gtk.main()

What has changed? I'm running under Fedora 19.

Thanks!
Dov
