Thanks Jay.  That isn't relevant to me as we're still using version 2.  You got me wondering though....  
suppose a widget has more than one colour (e.g. a foreground colour and a background colour).  How does 
gtk_widget_override_color() know which colour you want to override??

We ended up using style sheets as they also provide the ability for progress bars to be "flat colour" style 
or "candy bar" style.  In fact, that seemed to be the only reliable way of changing that actual bar colour 
AFAICT.
