Sorry for my previous dumb comments on the hidden column approach.
I've got it working for backgrounds, but foregrounds give me:

GLib-GObject-WARNING **: g_object_set_property:
 object class `GtkCellRendererText'
 has no property named `cell_foreground_gdk' at colorize.pl line 71.

GLib-GObject-WARNING **: g_object_set_property:
 object class `GtkCellRendererToggle'
 has no property named `cell_foreground_gdk' at colorize.pl line 71.

This happens when I change the color_list.pl example like this:

$col->add_attribute ($cell, cell_foreground_gdk => 3);

I see the attribute 'cell_foreground_gdk' in the C source
code, but I don't seem to be able to set it.

Is it not possible, or am I making another dumb mistake?
