Re: popup with colored menuitems

[Bob Caryl <bob fis-cal com>]

First get a Gtk::Pango::Layout for the widget. Next, use 
Gtk::Pango::Layout::set_attribute member function, passing  a 
Gtk::Pango::ATTR_FOREGROUND attribute initialized to your desired text 
foreground color to it; plus, you'll have to insert code doing this job 
into a slot connected an on_expose signal for the menu.

As usual, if I'm all wet on this, someone correct me.
