well it does now (as far as i can see).  the only thing that's not
working is the form colour, which is a gtk limitation, i think (and i
won't blame gtk if they dont fix it, since gtk1 isn't really used
much).  and all of this works in gtk2.  all i'm trying to say is that
even if the lcl hasn't implemented it, you can always do this in code
with the gtk_widget_modify_style function (for example), and there's
an even easier way with gtk2, where it takes only one line.  i don't
even see the relevance of this discussion any more.
