http://go-mono.com/docs/monodoc.ashx?link=M%3aGtk.Widget.ModifyBg(Gtk.StateType%2cGdk.Color)
(though it might be ModifyBase, can't remember which style/state is
used for the background of the Entry)

Note also that setting styles will only affect the things that that
widget actually draws, e.g. containers don't draw backgrounds.
