Fix setting CSS with latest GTK4

QuLogic · QuLogic · commit ed324fcca8af · 2023-02-21T20:52:42.000-05:00
In the upcoming 4.10 release, the type annotation was fixed [1]. There may be some overrides added in PyGObject [2] to avoid this difference, but we don't depend on a specific version of it to be able to rely on that (and it's not released yet.) This code should work with the override as well. [1] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/5441 [2] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pygobject/-/merge_requests/231
