[java-gnome-hackers] What is the simplest way to change widget background?

[Tom B. <Tom...@Su...>]

I have a Label whose background I'd like to be the same color as the
background of other text widgets (white, on my system).  What's the
simplest way to set it?  

I've tried setBackgroundColor, setTextColor, and setBaseColor (all for
all standard states) without any effect.  I was even considering a Pango
markup string, but realized that it would only change the background of
the text, not the whole widget.  The widget is defined by a Glade file,
but I can't find how to set the color there, either.

Any help would be appreciated.  I can't use a read-only TextView because
TextBuffer.setText leaks Strings and char arrays and I haven't figured
out why.
