wxPerl RadioBox Inheritance problem

keck has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi perl'ers, I'm using wxPerl/GTK+ under win32 as a replacement for tk in an existing application, and am having a problem with the RadioBox widget. The BackgroundColour of it's constituent RadioButtons are not inheriting from the RadioBox, nor the parent window, and I don't see a way to access them directly. Anybody see something I don't here?

Snippets:
  # Colors for main window.  $self is the top-level frame.
    my $mainbg = Wx::Colour->new(0,102,179);
    $self->SetBackgroundStyle('wxBG_STYLE_CUSTOM');
    $self->SetBackgroundColour($mainbg);
    $self->InheritAttributes()

  # .. later, $self->{rb} is a Wx::RadioBox
    $self->{rb}->SetBackgroundStyle('wxBG_STYLE_CUSTOM');
    $self->{rb}->SetBackgroundColour($buttonbg)

  # The effect of above is to color the background behind 
  # the text title of the radio box, not behind the radio 
  # button elements.  http://bsd-unix.net/~nate/example.jpg 
  # shows what I mean.

Any idea how I can access the RadioButton elements within the RadioBox?

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
