- This method doesn't redisplay the window. As a first attempt, try putting a
- [window display] right after the place where you set the background color.
- If that works, then your problem probably is that the window has already
- been created and displayed by the time you get around to setting the color.
- You can try making the window deferred and making sure the color is set before
- it is displayed; that will assure that by the time the window is ordered
- front (at which time it is displayed) the background color will be set...
