why are you importing these modules directly? Just use "import gtk" or
"from gtk import *".

the extra brackets are incorrect here.

I find it hard to believe that this caused a seg fault. Do you just mean
an exception? I was getting an exception here because of a weird
interaction with ExtensionClass. I have fixed it in CVS now. The fix is
to edit gtk-types.c and insert the following line below the include
statements:
#undef Py_FindMethod
That should fix the problem (after recompiling).

When passing a string argument, you can use any colour name in
/usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt, or hex forms like '#rrggbb' or 'rgb:rr/gg/bb'.
