Description:
I have noticed that vte3-based terminals currently do not pick up the padding set in «~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css». I cannot claim to understand why, but apparently vte3 must be re-built against gtk+ 3.20 for CSS styling to resume working. Cf. [this bug](https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=763538).

This build problem will also manifest in vte-based applications producing the following message:

> VTE needs to be recompiled against a newer gtk+ version.

I have re-built vte3-ng, linking against gtk+ 3.20, and can confirm that the CSS styling is fixed by this.

Additional info:
* vte3-ng 0.44.0.a-2

Steps to reproduce:
Launch /usr/bin/vte-2.91 for the warning message.

Create ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css with the following contents and notice that this setting is not picked when running /usr/bin/vte-2.91:

VteTerminal, vte-terminal {
padding: 50px;
}

Notice that the styling will take effect after vte3{,-ng} has been rebuilt against gtk+ 3.20.
