The text on a button is actually a child label widget,
so you have to set the style of that.
If you're using other widgets on the button as well, e.g. a pixmap,
its more difficult. You'd probably have to use a gtk_container_foreach
to recursively set the style of each widget in the hierarchy.
Maybe styles should really propagate down the widget tree, unless
a widget's style has already been set explicitly?
This is what I've been thinking of doing in Glade.
