   I've now changed to using a Gtk::Text object, as I was able to 
easily set the font, bg, and fg colors for the text this way.  However, 
I'm still struggling with trying to set the background of the Gtk::Text 
widget.  It seems that whenever I set the style's bg color or pixmap, 
the whole parent window is affected still, in much the same way that the 
fg color was affecting the rest of the window before.  Any ideas?  How 
can I set a bg_pixmap or bg color for /only the Text widget/?
