Yes, my short google search yesterday gave me also something from 2003
-- someone reported that it is possible by setting label, show and
realize it, and then calling 3 times gtk-parent-widget to get the tree
view header widget and then set the color. I have not saved that search
result, it is a hack which may work for a specific GTK version, but not
generally.

It is sad that it does not work for you, but generally it is not a good
idea to change the default style that much. You may ask at IRC or
StackOverflow, maybe there the change to be heard by GTK developers is
better. Maybe also say why you think that you need it, so motivation to
answer is better.
