John, I tried the modify_bg call as follows:
self.pbar.modify_bg(gtk.STATE_PRELIGHT,
self.pbar.get_colormap().alloc_color("yellow"))
It accepted the command, but did not actually change the color. (I saw a
comment in q_use_statusicon.py file you sent me that says "This does not work
for certain gtk/gnome themes". That sure is disappointing. Is there a setting
change I can make to the theme to make it work?
I have not heard of cairo. Can you give me an example of cairo code? Perhaps
some code fragment that I can modify into a progress bar with text?
Thanks again for your help,
Robert

Please remember to reply to the list.
OK, 10.10 is old. Don't bother with a port.
One of the many things that changed in gtk3 was how themes and stuff
like this was handled.
IIRC modifying the gtk2 progressbar background color never really
worked that well search for modify_bg here
http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/internal/computing/docs/public/quota-status/OLD/q-use-statusicon.py
If I was you I would write my own simple progressbar using cairo, and
color it directly.
If you upgrade your distribution and are interested in porting, see
the following
The updated docs for pygobject+gtk3 live here
http://readthedocs.org/projects/python-gtk-3-tutorial/
and a porting guide is here
