Ooopps, looks like I have never added the set_values support for that. The main
reason is that I think it is a bad idea, in most cases, to set things like
labels, and bubbles, with set_values. If the end user would prefer a different
string it is not possible when set with set_values, much better in the
resources. But that said, it's an easy addition that should be there.

The bubble is a standard XmLabel, inside a transientShell which is a child of
the button. So...
Button.BubbleShell.BubbleLabel.background: red
should make the background red. Any resource applicable to an XmLabel should be
available this way, including the labelString resource. The best sources of
information are still the sources, unfortunatly. This includes the
tests/BubbleButton apps.
