As good as GWT ClientBundle is, it's not meant to solve your issue
(styling an HTML page). If I were you, I'd either:
- rather use other CSS tooling (http://sass-lang.com/ or http://lesscss.org/
for instance, and/or http://spriteme.org/ )
- if you want to stick with GWT's ClientBundle, create your own
Linker (inspired by XSLinker if I were you) to (try to) load the
stylesheet "synchronously", without waiting for the onload/
DOMContentLoad event.

But really I find it weird to use JavaScript to control "plain old
styling", so I'd rather go the first way, i.e. using the right tool
for the job.
