First, you are using the C syntax, not the Python syntax, which is
"button.get_child()".
Second, experimenting, I see that (contrary to the docs) setting the
background of a Button does work:
button.modify_bg(gtk.STATE_xxx, gtk.gdk.Color(r,g,b))
Where xxx is NORMAL for the resting state, PREFLIGHT for mouse hovering,
and ACTIVE for pressed. The colors don't overlap exactly, so all colors
should be related. Also, people will complain when you violate the theme
colors when you change them in any way.
There's also the Widget's Style object, normally set up by the theme.
(button.get_style(), etc.).
