(oops. that should have been STATE_NORMAL)
A widget has a number of states. They are STATE_NORMAL, STATE_ACTIVE,
STATE_PRELIGHT, STATE_SELECTED and STATE_INSENSITIVE. Different colours
can be assigned to each state. NORMAL is the normal state, ACTIVE is when
a button is pressed for example, PRELIGHT is when the mouse hovers over
the widget, SELECTED is when the widget is selected and DISABLED is when
it is disabled.

The text widget is not very configurable, so it may not be possible to get
the effects you want. The GtkText widget is being deprecated in the next
major release of GTK in favour of a much more versatile one (based on the
Tk text widget.
