Interesting topic. Have you managed to find a solution yet?

Heya, sorry for the long delay in responding.
Unfortunately, Paul is right here. What I've got is a theme engine which
specifies every single draw_* function that the GtkStyle class allows me
to define (and additionally, the set_background function). All of my
functions (with the exception of draw_flat_box) do nothing; draw_flat_box
draws a solid white rectangle over its entire area.
The problem I'm having is that certain widgets are somehow still managing
to draw stuff using functions that I can't seemingly override. I'm
testing this all using Richard Stellingwerf's "The Widget Factory"--and
from its default setup, the widgets which are still drawing data are:
1) Text entry, combobox and dropdown widgets. These widgets have
correctly stopped drawing their outlines, arrows and button
areas, but are still drawing their own text. The only reason
that this irks me is because I've overridden both draw_string
and draw_layout, which I assumed were responsible for all text
handling (even if a widget did handle its own internals through
functions that bypass the draw_* GtkStyle functions.
2) Tables. Tables are drawing a background for their column
headers (solid black) and a background for their entry area (a
color which is being retrieved from a gtkrc file).
3) Menubars and toolbars. Both are drawing solid black
backgrounds which, as far as I can tell, are not being
specified in any gtkrc file.
I really haven't poked around in the GTK code enough (maybe only for half
an hour or so) to even rule out some gtkrc file supplying the black
background value; so I'm not too sure of anything yet. I was mainly
asking here to see if it was just common knowledge that such-and-such
widget draws a background that currently can't be avoided.
Anyway, thanks for the responses Paul and Z, hopefully I'll get some time
to poke around the GTK code and answer this for myself.
