StThemeNodes are built around the assumption that they're "immutable", that means they are created once with certain parameters (that resolve to certain css properties) and then replaced with new ones in case those parameters changed.
Changes to the internal information stored by theme nodes (i.e. the css
properties, font names or the cached scale-factor) are not all handled
the same though: For changes to the font or the scale-factor we remove
all theme nodes from the cache and let the widgets which are on stage
generate new theme nodes. For changes to the css properties/the
stylesheet, we invalidate the properties of all theme nodes but keep
them in the cache using _st_theme_node_reset_for_stylesheet_change().
So be a bit more consistent and handle changes to the css-properties/the stylesheet stored by StThemeNodes the same way as changes to the font or scale-factor.
