In OO language bindings, gtk_style_get and gtk_style_get_property "shadow" g_object_get and g_object_get_property: calling get() and get_property() on a GtkStyle instance would invoke gtk_style_get and gtk_style_get_property.  This breaks code that assumes calling get_property() on a GObject descendant always resolves to g_object_get_property().

There's a precedent for this: GtkTreeModel provides gtk_tree_model_get and thus shadows g_object_get, but since there's no gtk_tree_model_get_property, g_object_get_property is not shadowed.

This points to one possible solution: leave gtk_style_get as is for C convenience, and rename gtk_style_get_property to gtk_style_get_style_property.  Would you be interested in a patch that does this?
