           Summary: gtkrc is unfriendly for widget derivatives

The gtkrc has quite a few declarations using 'widget_class' which (prior to
2.10) fails to properly take into account derived widgets. Given for example the
following:
  widget_class "*.GtkToolButton.GtkButton" style "osso-toolbutton"

It fails to apply the 'osso-toolbutton' style correctly to the widgets if one is
using custom widget derived from GtkToolButton or GtkButton.


With gtk+ 2.10 the above could be better written as:
  widget_class "*.<GtkToolButton>.<GtkButton>" style "osso-toolbutton"

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-Resource-Files.html


It seems there are applications working around the derivation problem by
referring directly to the styles by name ("osso-toolbutton" and similar) from
the code. In order to verify changes to gtkrc correctly remove the need for
current workarounds, we need to rename all style names at least temporarily...
