Having an applet inheriting the panel's color

[Francois Taiani <francois taiani m6net fr>]

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to have an applet taking the same background color as the
panel it is plugged in. I'm working on the example proposed
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/panel/index.html. I've added a
"back_change" signal handler on the applet, and I do the following code
in the call back:

-------------
static void
applet_back_change(GtkWidget* widget     , PanelBackType back_type ,
                   GdkPixmap* back_pixmap, GdkColor      back_color,
                   gpointer data )
{
  g_print(_("Background was changed.\n"));
  gdk_window_set_background (  widget->window,
                               &back_color );
} /* EndFunct applet_back_change */
-------------

The callback is correctly called at the right time, but the appplet's
color is not set. Would anyone have any idea of what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks a lot

Francois
