the critical point here is that a VBox does not have its own window, so
setting its bg color (via an RC file or programmatically) doesn't do
anything. 

the general solution to "i am packing these widgets up and i want the
container to have a XXXX background" is to add the container widget to
an EventBox, which does have its own window. then set the color of the
event box.
