OK, so unless I specifically make a copy for each widget then I should
assume that all
widgets in the app are going to access the same GtkStyle object and any
changes to that object are going to be 'global'.

OH, one more thing, if I modify this GtkStyle object, must I notify the
widget(s) of the change, or is that handled already by Gtk/Gdk.

thanks, things make much more sense now.
