Yes and no.

What one must realize in this situation is that, when you SPC from
"GTK Styles" to Antinews, the Info reader scrolls down until it hits
the end of "GTK Styles", tries the Next link which is absent, then
goes Up to the parent node "GTK Resources", tries to scroll down
there, but hits the end right away, tries the absent Next, goes Up to
the node "X Resources", and finally follows its Next link to Antinews.
Thus, when you press `l' in Antinews, it goes to the last node
recorded in its history, which is "X Resources".

Bottom line: to get back to "GTK Styles" simply hit `l' a few more
times.
