[Sugar-devel] [PATCH sugar] Journal, no-hippo: set white background for no-matching-entry message, SL #3808

[Simon Schampijer]

The 'no-matching-entry' message in the Journal listview is
grey after the hippo removal.

Add a gtk.EventBox because the gtk.VBox doesn't have a
gtk.gdk.Window associated with it and the background
can't be set otherwise. See d9fbf9d for the same resolution
of the issue.
