     After the XtRealizeWidget invocation, We are trying to set the 
     text widget background using :

         XtSetArg(arg[0], XtNbackground, 1);
         XtSetValues(widget_id, arg, 1);

     It does not seem to work.

     Any ideas ?

If you're using the Xaw Text widget, it's broken.  Most things that
you'd like to change with XtSetValues can't be changed.  Improvements
are planned...
