Ok. I have already learnt that I have to use the Gtk::RC class, and 
reading the GTK+ documentation I am somewhat familiar to the resource 
file format. I have created two styles in the gtkrc file, but only the 
"default" style works. This is my gtkrc file:
----
style "default" {
   font_name = "Sans 14"
}
class "*" style "default"

style "my-label" {
   font_name = "Sans Italic 10"
}
class "MyLabel" style "my-label"
----
In the "MyLabel" constructor there is a call to set_name("MyLabel"). 
What's wrong? I don't know how is the class path format that must be 
specified in a gtkmm application, since the only documentation I have 
found is for GTK+ applications. Can anybody send me a gtkrc example file?

Thank you very much.
