i do:

  canvas->set_name ("MyNameForTheCanvas")

and then in the applications' RC file:

style "main_canvas_area"
{
	bg[NORMAL] = { 0.89, 0.88, 0.91 }
	bg[ACTIVE] = { 0.89, 0.88, 0.91 }
	bg[INSENSITIVE] = { 0.89, 0.88, 0.91 }
	bg[SELECTED] = { 0.89, 0.88, 0.91 }
	bg[PRELIGHT] = { 0.89, 0.88, 0.91 }
}

widget "*MyNameForTheCanvas" style "main_canvas_area"
