/** @file gtk-style-experiment.cpp
 ** Simple GTK Application frame to investigate some aspects of GTK's CSS implementation.
 ** Especially the goal is to _grab some existing CSS styling_ with a Gtk::StyleContext
 ** and use this for custom drawing. Within Lumiera, we use custom drawing for some parts
 ** of the Timeline UI presentation.
 ** 
 ** ## Setup for investigation
 ** - add a separate dummy Gtk::Frame widget as `testFrame_`
 ** - apply custom styling to that frame, by virtue of a CSS class '.experiment'
 ** - pick up the Gtk::StyleContext of that `testFrame_` to get the CSS path
 ** - build a "free standing" new Gtk::StyleContext and apply the CSS path found
 ** - use this style context to draw a custom frame and background onto the canvas
 ** - control extension of that custom drawing through the top margin CSS setting of testFrame_
 ** 
 ** ## Findings
 ** - it works as intended
 ** - however, care must be taken to apply CSS cascading properly (generic vs specific selectors)
 ** - the context_save/restore functionality seems to be broken on a "free standing" style context;
 **   however it works as expected on a style context associated to an existing and realised widget.
 ** - workaround is to add / remove classes explicitly.
 ** - CSS3 effects like box-shadow are applied with the StyleContext::render_background() function
 **   * first, an outset box-shadow is rendered _outside_ the box given as parameter to `render_background()`
 **   * then the box is filled with the background colour
 **   * and last, an inset box-shadow is rendered _inside_ the area of a would-be border,
 **     without rendering the border itself.
 **   * consequently we can not shade the border itself and we can not shade the content
 **
