Description Patricia Santana Cruz 2011-02-28 14:09:16 UTC 
The current documentation does not specify if this function affects to the children and the parent or just to the parent where it is used. Currently, this just affects to the parent, so one needs to use gtk_style_context_add_provider_for_screen () and specify the children in the .css file in order to make it work for those children. I spoke to Carlos Garnacho (garnacho) and he informed me that he wants to change this behaviour for the next version, but anyway, it should be documented because it can be very misleading.

Current documentation:
