No. This is a misnomer. For historical reasons, a "GDK Screen" simply
refers to the place where windows are created from. You connect to a
"display", which is a display server which has multiple "screens", and
each "screen" allows you to create windows on it.

Calling gtk_style_context_add_provider_for_screen tells it to affect
all windows that your process creates, on that screen. It will not
affect other processes' windows.

It is confusing, though, I will admit. If we were to redesign GDK (or
X11) today, we wouldn't use the confusing "display" / "screen"
terminology.
