Thanks . I suspected this and also tried having an eventbox and was able to
successfully assign background color. But left that idea since the widgets
in the frame was also taking the background color of the eventbox. After I
read this post I had a rethink on this and acheived some kind of a window
using two eventboxes with two different colors, one for the frame and one
for body. :-)
