The patterns here are given in the standard shell glob
syntax. The <literal>"?"</literal> wildcard matches
any character, while <literal>"*"</literal> matches
zero or more of any character. The three types of
matching are against the widget path, the
<firstterm>class path</firstterm> and the class
hierarchy. Both the widget path and the class path consist of a
<literal>"."</literal> separated list of all the
parents of the widget and the widget itself from
outermost to innermost. The difference is that in
the widget path, the name assigned by
gtk_widget_set_name() is used
if present, otherwise the class name of the widget, while
for the class path, the class name is always used.

Since GTK+ 2.10,<literal>widget_class</literal> paths can also contain

the class with the given name and any derived classes. For instance,

</programlisting></informalexample>
will match #GtkLabel widgets which are contained in any kind of menu item.

For this, every RC style is matched against the widgets class path,
the widgets name path and widgets inheritance hierarchy.
As a consequence, significant slowdown can be caused by utilization of many
RC styles and by using RC sytle patterns that are slow or complicated to match
RC styles and by using RC style patterns that are slow or complicated to match
against a given widget.
