Getting closer!
I always have to fiddle with things for a while before they work right so don't
worry just yet. Buttons and such can have different styles depending on their
state, look at how your Gtk::Style object is set up, make sure you specify the
correct state (STATE_NORMAL is probably what you want).
If possible give some code sample of how things are set up if its still not
doing what you need.
