just try to use addStyleName() instead of setStylePrimaryName(). By
this you preserve the default standard.css styling of your elements
and you can add additional formatting. More specific, the button would
still have the class gwt-Button followed by your specific class which
you can add to any CSS file linked in the main page.

However, as GWT adds its standard.css as last css file you may still
experience strage overruling of your styles (using Firebug helps to
understand what is overruled by what).

If that standard.css overruling is an issue for you, my blog post
"GWT's standard.css killed my page layout" may help you:
