[Gtk-sharp-list] Setting HBox background to white

[Clark Endrizzi]

The sad thing is this is the second time you've mentioned this to me but the
first time I knew so little about GTK that I was unable to put it together.

Well I'm a little smarter (not a lot mind you, GTK is a lot to learn in your
spare time) and while I didn't use an Event Box, I did get it to work with a
view port.

Thanks a lot Fire Rabbit.
