I thought about it too. In that case, the question is - how can I find the appropriate widget class for gnome-terminal, or any other application I would want to modify the theme for ?
Thanks a lot.

My understanding of this "mystery" is that style definition works in the
most intuitive way: more specific widget selection for a style overrides
less specific one. In other words, if you're setting a style for a
concrete widget or widget class, this style overrides the style defined
for all the widget types. Thus, your style definition for all the widget
classes just gets overriden by more specific ones.
wbr, Dmitry.
