Launch a GTK3 aplication without customized gtk settings?

Question

In previous versions of gtk it was easy to launch one instance of an application with default gtk settings:

GTK2_RC_FILES= epdfview

But for version 3, it won't work anymore:

GTK3_RC_FILES= evince

has no effect. Is this convenience definitely gone?

Ok the implementation has changed and details can be found in the documentation for the GtkCssProvider class. To use plain default settings, one can now use following:

GTK_DATA_PREFIX= gtk3-app
