Popup delay / autohide size in XFCE Panels?

I used to remove the popup delay and hidden size in XFCE Panels via .gtkrc-2.0; Can anybody help me out with porting it to GTK3 settings?

For reference, my .gtkrc-2.0 had this:

style "xfce-panel-window-style"
{   
    XfcePanelWindow::popup-delay = 1
    XfcePanelWindow::popdown-delay = 1
    XfcePanelWindow::autohide-size = 1
}
class "XfcePanelWindow" style "xfce-panel-window-style"

Thanks for any help.

Re: Popup delay / autohide size in XFCE Panels?

For what it's worth, I couldn't find how to set per-application settings in GTK3 (only per-application style via CSS) so I patched up xfce4-panel directly. I'm on Gentoo so patching the sources takes less time than learning about GTK3's internals.

If anyone's on a source-based distro and wants to patch theirs:
