[pygtk] simple color access

[gry]

[Python 1.6a2, pygtk-0.7.0, gtk+1.2.7, Suse Linux 6.1(2.2.11), pentium]

How does one simply get a color object to set the background of a widget?
I.e.:

  from _gtk import *
  from GTK import *
  w = GtkWindow(WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)
  clist = GtkCList(1, ('name'))
  clist.append(['George Young'])
  w.add(clist)
  w.showall()
  cm = w.get_colormap()
  blue_color = cm.alloc((10, 10, 200)) #segmentation fault
  blue_color = cm.alloc('blue') #segmentation fault

!! how do I get a GtkColor that is, e.g., 'blue'?  I would rather use names
than rgb values, but anything would be helpful.

  clist.set_background(blue_color)


Thanks,
        George
