System name:		m34-501-7
Type and version:	VAXSTAR 7.3P
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
What's wrong:

	Configure dash.  What I want to do is have my LOGOUT
	button be the normal white background and black text.
	I've added the dash clock, and I want that in reverse
	video.  If I set the (analog) clock to reverse video with

		*clockTree.clockWindow.reverseVideo: True

	the clock is all screwed up.  If I set everything to
	reverse video with

		*reverseVideo: True

	then the clock is a perfectly normal reverse video clock.
	If I then try to make the LOGOUT button or it's dialog
	box back to its normal color with

		*logoutDialog.window.reverseVidoe: False

	(similar for the button), then I just get a white box.
	(Ie: white text on a white background.)

	I get the same results on all of the above if I try
	explicitly setting the foreground and background colors
	of the windows I want to change.  (Instead of using
	reverseVideo.)
