Bug Description

This is on Natty running from the PPA

Steps:
1. Run pithos from the terminal
2. When the first song starts, skip to the next song

Result:
The terminal reports the following error info:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pithos", line 247, in bgcolor_data_func
    cell.set_property("cell-background", bgcolor)
TypeError: could not convert argument to correct param type

And the GUI marks the song with a gstreamer error, though there was not one.

The problem seems to be be that the code is setting the background-color of the cell with gtk,gdk.Color object. Changing line 247 of bin/pithos to the following seems to fix it:
            cell.set_property("cell-background-gdk", bgcolor)

Let me know if you would prefer a merge proposal or a patch instead, but for a 4 character change, this seemed easier for you.

This bug exists in natty universe as well, I'll probably distro patch it.

Fixed in 0.3.7-2 in Debian. It'll be safe to sync the next version of the package to Ubuntu.
