For a complex library object you can override the object's materials with a single material (as you have done).

To maintain the different materials for each part of the object re-check use objects materials and edit the objects material in the 3D Parameters window or the dialogue (toggle materials/fills rather than geometry at the top of each section).

you want this checked.. not unchecked.. if its unchecked the whole object will be one material
