I ran your test with pygtk-1.99.17, gtk+-2.2.4, python-2.3.3, and got:

Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to set label from markup due to error parsing markup: Error on 
line 1 char 21: Odd character 'r', expected an open quote mark after the equals sign 
when giving value for attribute 'color' of element 'font'

I put quotes around "red" and got:

Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to set label from markup due to error parsing markup: Unknown 
tag 'font' on line 1 char 27

Hmm, it doesn't like "font".  Then I copied from a piece of my own code:
   label1.set_markup('<span color="red">mytext</span>')
and it worked.  See:

   http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2reference/pango-markup-language.html

If you didn't get the above "Gtk-WARNING" messages, maybe you should upgrade
to the latest gtk/pygtk versions...

I wonder if a searchable version of the pygtk docs wouldn't be helpful.  It took me 
some
hacking to find this reference because words like 'font' are extremely common in the 
html(meta)
part of the docs.  Are the doc sources in some form that would be easily searchable?
