In GTK+ 1.0, you can't change the style of a Text widget on
the fly. If you do it before the widget is realized, it should
work, however.

Hmmm, there are a few more unanswered questions than I would like
(only so many hours in the day), but browsing, it doesn't look like
nearly a 2:1 unanswered:answered ratio to me in general...

(Hint: asking a question three times does not make it any
 more likely that it will get answered. Subjects in all
 caps will almost certainly get ignored.)
