Re: [gtk-list] Problems getting GdkRGB to work with proper colors

[Dave Swegen <dave recursive prestel co uk>]

I might be talking completely out my backside here, but I believe that
colours have to be in the range of 0 to 65535. Take a look at the Color
Selection section in the tutorial (section 9.12). HTH
