But is this possible in the current infrastructure? Do you suggest
making special classes that show up in the widget-class hierarchy, so it
can be used in the "widget_class" directive of gtkrc files?

Another possible implementation would be to use widget-naming with
gtk_widget_set_name(), or otherwise stick with using the "detail" field
as passed onto gtk_paint_*() functions. (like my current patch does for
GtkHButtonBox)

Or are other roads available to make "generalised context-sensitive
theming" possible?
