 Hi Jeff,

 Here is a C++ code to do this

void widget_set_color(GtkWidget* entry,GdkColor* color,GtkRcFlags
	component=GTK_RC_FG)
{
    gtk_widget_ensure_style(entry);
    GtkStyle* newstyle;
    {
        newstyle = gtk_style_copy(gtk_widget_get_style(entry));
        GdkColor& tcolor = *color;
        for(int i=0;i<5;++i) {
            if (component & GTK_RC_FG)
                newstyle->fg[i] = tcolor;
            if (component & GTK_RC_BG)
                newstyle->bg[i] = tcolor;
            if (component & GTK_RC_TEXT)
                newstyle->text[i] = tcolor;
            if (component & GTK_RC_BASE)
                newstyle->base[i] = tcolor;
        };
    };
    gtk_widget_set_style(entry,newstyle);
};

 Use this way:

 {
        GdkColor red;
        gdk_color_parse("red",&red);
        widget_set_color(label,&red,~0);
 } 

 It should work for any other widget (just tweak last arg to
widget_set_color).
