As much as I would like to claim that for me I don't think I was
responsible for this change for the better;-) Actually, Jean-Marc
Lasgouttes and Angus Leeming committed quite a number of changes
to the CVS version in the last years which I can build on. And I
am rather sure that's one of many problems they already did solve!

Definitely! Unfortunately, I can't reproduce this bug here on my
machine by just inserting your example code into one of my programs.
Perhaps it's something more complicated than just a bug in the func-
tion for settineg an objects colors. In that case it might help me
to figure out what's going wrong if you could send me a somewhat
longer example.

BTW: The indentation of your example code looks a bit as if it was
generated by an older version of fdesign. Perhaps you still have
two versions of fdesign (or all of XForms) installed on your ma-
chine, the old one in /usr/bin and the new one in /usr/local/bin.
Please try to get rid of the old installation - if there's a mix-
ture of an old and a new versions a lot of things could go wrong...

                          Best regards, Jens
