You can change the background (and foreground) of a Gtk::Entry changing
it's style the same way you can do with any other widget:

        my $style = new Gtk::RcStyle;
        my $color = {green => 65355, blue=> 0, red 0};
        $color = $widget->get_colormap->color_alloc ($color);
        $style->modify_color (['fg', 'text'], 'normal', $c);
        $widget->modify_style ($style);
