hi,

you can play with:

void
set_background (GtkWidget *widget,  GdkPixmap *pixmap)
{
GtkRcStyle *rc_style;
GtkStyle   *style;

style = gtk_style_copy (widget->style);
if (style->bg_pixmap[0])
  g_object_unref (style->bg_pixmap[0]);
style->bg_pixmap[0] = g_object_ref (pixmap);
gtk_widget_set_style (widget, style);
g_object_unref (style);
}

(hbox, vbox will probably not work, us the widget direct instead, or the 
parent widget)

if nothing happens take look on this bug:
