Ooo, neat, never thought of that.

Tiny point: you can do it with gtkrc files with more than 4 colours by
changing the name, rather than the state. Eg.:

        style "colour1_style" {
                bg[NORMAL]={1.0,0.0,0.0}
        }
        widget "*colour1_widget" style "colour1_style"
        style "colour2_style" {
                bg[NORMAL]={0.0,1.0,0.0}
        }
        widget "*colour2_widget" style "colour2_style"
        etc.

then:
        
        gtk_widget_set_name( my_widget, "colour1_widget" );
        gtk_widget_set_name( my_widget, "colour2_widget" );
        etc.

I guess this'll be a little slower than setting the state (though I've
not timed it), but it's fast enough for most things.
