Yes. Try '(c-set-style "stroustrup")' instead of '(setq-default
c-default-style "stroustrup")'; the former modifies the environment for the
current file, the latter changes a global default, which isn't much use to
you because it doesn't apply to the current file. (The current C indentation
style has already been initialised.)
