The color specs follow the X standard for numerically specifying a
color.  You need a sharp sign (#) in front of the six digits.
Pseudo-patch follows:

    gtk_rc_parse_string("style \"background\"\n"
    "{\n"
-   "bg[NORMAL] = \"646464\"\n"
+   "bg[NORMAL] = \"+646464\"\n"
    "}"
    "widget_class \"*\" style \"background\""
