box around a GtkLabel

["Zvi Sebrow" <zvi sebrow verizon net>]

help

I'm trying to draw a box around one or more GtkLabels.
when i use a GtkDrawingArea, the box comes out fine, 
but the labels are covered by the inside of the box. 
is there a way to set a GtkDrawingArea to be transparent,
so it wont cover up any GtkLabels?

or is there another, simpler way of doing this?
