I'd like to either dynamically change the background color of a
MainWindow's MenuBar and/or the background color of the MainWindow.

I can set the color via a UIL or resource file upon startup - but
not afterwards.  In the main window I have a Form widget which 
doesn't seem to want to inherit (or take on its own) new background
color after the application has fired up.  With a blank main window
this works fine, but with the Form widget all I get is a white
background.

According to the docs I should be able to do this, but...

Any ideas would be most excellent.
