Mmmh. There are no column styles yet. Does somebody needs them ? ;)
If you really would provide gtk_rc_get_sub_style, I think it would be
possible to change cell and row styles too. Then we could add gchar *name
fields to row and cell structs and write some functions like
gtk_clist_set_row_name.
Unfortunately this would enlarge GtkCell and GtkCListRow by sizeof(gchar *).
