I read the FAQ:
http://ometer.com/gtk-colors.html

All well and good.  So I did:

  let qlabel = GMisc.label ~text:"Question" ~height:150
		 ~packing:vbox#pack () in
  qlabel#misc#modify_bg [`NORMAL, `WHITE];
  qlabel#misc#modify_font (Pango.Font.from_string "times 36");

The font size changes fine, but nothing at all happens to the
background color, no matter what I try.  Help!

Rich.
