Re: Background color of HBox, Label or Table

[Dov Grobgeld <dov grobgeld weizmann ac il>]

The reason that it doesn't work is that hbox, tables, and labels do
not have any corresponding x window associated with them. The solution
is to embed them within an Gtk2::EventBox. You may then change the 
background of the eventbox.
