It's the right way (because it's the only way ;). You just can't use
gtk_clist_set_background() when the row style is set.
Clist uses the different styles and colors in the following order :
cell style, row style, fg/bg colors, widget style.
With other words: if you set the row style you should change fg/bg
colors via style colors. So you can change normal colors, selection
colors etc.. Check the clist testgtk example, it uses cell and row
styles to change colors and fonts.
