we could feature column styles for clist from the rc files,
currently widgets retrive their styles via

GtkStyle* gtk_rc_get_style              (GtkWidget   *widget);

which actually just needs the widget pointer to build the style path out of
the widgets and its parents names or classes, e.g.
MyWindow.GtkHBox.MyCList or GtkWindow.GtkHBox.GtkCList.
we could provide an additional function

GtkStyle* gtk_rc_get_sub_style          (GtkWidget   *widget,
                                         const gchar *sub);
that could be used as
  for (i = 0; i < clist->columns; i++)
  {
    gchar buffer[32];
    sprintf (buffer, "column%u", i);
    style = gtk_rc_get_sub_style (GTK_WIDGET (clist), buffer);
  }
and would produce (and try to match) widget paths like
MyWindow.GtkHBox.MyCList:column1 or GtkWindow.GtkHBox.GtkCList:column2.
this would of course only work for columns and not be usefull for rows...

so lars, do you need gtk_rc_get_sub_style() ? ;)
