You can't at the moment, because QT and GTK+ do that in a very different way.

So you have to do that by hand: get the dimension of the text, create a 
picture, fill the picture with the background you need, draw the text inside 
the picture, transform the picture into an image, rotate the image (X11 does 
not know how to rotate a picture), and draw the image into the drawing area.
