Re: background

[Dermot McCluskey <Dermot McCluskey ireland sun com>]

The runtime error is because you must call
gtk_realize_widget() or gtk_widget_show() before
accessing text->window.

To set the text bg color, I think you want something like:

        GtkStyle *style, *style_default;

        gdk_color_parse ("red",&color);
        style_default = gtk_widget_get_default_style ();
        style = gtk_style_copy (style_default);
        style->base[GTK_STATE_NORMAL] = color;
        gtk_widget_set_style (text, style);
