Canvas background color

[KC <kcc1967 gmail com>]

Hi,

How can I change background color of gnome canvas ?
I know I should probably use GtkStyle ... but I didn't success yet.
Any workable code example is appreciated.

And does anyone can tell me why GNOME or GTK choose a "complicated" way
to handle background, foreground color ?  Such functions are trivial
in some toolkit such as Tcl/Tk ...  I'm quite surprised that I still can't make
it work by checking the APIs manual again and again ...

Thanks
KC
