List Item Background?

[Evan Van Dyke <e-van northwestern edu>]

I am working on an application where I wish the background color
for a GtkListItem to be different from the background color of the
GtkList.  I have tried setting the bg/base fields of the GtkListItem
but this doesn't appear to help.  Needless to say most of the widgets
I am packing into the gtkListItem are Labels(which don't draw their
own background).  Is there any way to give each ListItem its own
background color?  Thanks.
