On 1.3 (and maybe 1.2, I don't know), in the GtkWidget class, 
gtk_widget_modify_base(...) and gtk_widget_modify_text(...)
can set the color of the text and the text background.  I don't know 
why "base" and "text" are treated differently than foreground and 
background, or why they are in the widget class when they seem to
apply only to text widgets.  Anyone?
