#37 XP does not observe background colors for buttons

[Kevin Conaway]

If you set a background color on a Button in the
Windows XP version of Wimp, it does not honor the
color. It does however work in Windows 2000. Attached
is sample PyGTK code. There are two files, a "good"
script and a "bad" script. The good script displays
the background color correctly because it forces GTK to
use the "Default" theme.

Furthermore, I would like to add that this bug only
manifests itself if I am using the "Windows XP" theme on
Windows XP. If I use the "Windows Classic" theme, the
background colors are shown.

you cant even do that with default winapi themed apps.

Very annoying bug. Thanks kevin_conaway for the scripts.

In gtkmm:
Gtk::RC::parse_string( "gtk-theme-name = Default" );
