I'm not sure exactly how the style stuffs work, but by default I'd guess the
get_style() function returns a ptr to a statically allocated "default"
style and changing that will cause every widget in your app have that change.

Thus, you should make a new style with gtk_style_new() and copy the default
style to that and then set the new style to the widget.

Just a guess :)
