There's a description of using a resource file for this purpose in the
FAQ on www.gtk.org. However, I think the problem in the above code
*might* be that you edit the shared style object. IIRC, one was
supposed to take a copy of a widget's style, modify that, and then put
the copy back into the widget.

Anyway, I still think it would be easier to switch to gtkmm 2, even if
you have to install from source packages. :-)
