[pygtk] Changing color not possible

[Thomas Güttler]

Hi,

The example of FAQ 4.16 [1] does not work. The label
(inside the EventBox) does not change its color.

If I start it like this: (clean enviroment)
  env -i DISPLAY=$DISPLAY HOME=$HOME python ./bin/colortest.py
it works!

Here is my environment, with unimportant stuff removed:

GNOME2_PATH=/usr/local:/opt/gnome:/usr
GTK2_RC_FILES=/etc/opt/gnome/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:/opt/gnome/share/themes//Qt/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:/home/tguettler/.gtkrc-2.0-qtengine:/home/tguettler/.gtkrc-2.0
KDE_FULL_SESSION=true
DESKTOP_LAUNCH=kde-open
XNLSPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls
HOSTTYPE=x86_64
SESSION_MANAGER=local/berry:/tmp/.ICE-unix/4110
DESKTOP_SESSION=default
LANG=de_DE at euro
OSTYPE=linux
XCURSOR_THEME=crystalwhite
WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/bin/dbus-launch --sh-syntax 
--exit-with-session /usr/X11R6/bin/kde
GTK_PATH=/usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0:/opt/gnome/lib/gtk-2.0:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0
GTK_PATH64=/usr/local/lib64/gtk-2.0:/opt/gnome/lib64/gtk-2.0:/usr/lib64/gtk-2.0
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/:/etc/opt/kde3/share/:/opt/kde3/share/:/opt/gnome/share/
ACLOCAL_FLAGS=-I /opt/gnome/share/aclocal
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-ZbxcFKBPNh,guid=182...

Does someone know why changing the color does not work?
