I know that, I have searched but not found anything that says "this is
how you set the properties of ..."

what I'm trying to do is set wrap-width to 60 characters and wrap-mode
to word somewhat like this:

GtkSomeObscureFunction(list->action, wrap-width = 60, 
                        wrap-mode = PANGO_WRAP_WORD);

I also wish to set alternate rows backgrounds to white or pale blue,
how is this done?
