Setting the background colour of a container

[Wolfgang Sourdeau <wolfgang ultim net>]

Hi,


What is the way of setting the background colour of a container such
as a GtkTable? I have tried different ways during 2 hours without
success...

Another question is, in the same table, how do I insert buttons with a
maximum size ? What I was using before is a GtkFixed instead of the
table, which used to work fine but is less pretty.


Thanks in advance,


Wolfgang
