Changing widget attributes in gtk

["Ben R. Boule" <bboule xylogics com>]

I've been reading through the tutorials,reference docs, etc.. and I can't 
figure out how to do stuff like change colors and fonts and stuff like that.

Right now I'm trying to figure out how to change the 
background/foreground color of a label, and also change the font for the 
label.  Do I need to use gdk to do this?

Thanks,
