Running MS Word 5.1 on a Mac System 7.0 (With the 1.1 tuneup), the
Desktop Pattern which is set with the General Controls panel is
coerced to all-gray, from the pattern normally visible.  This also happens
with Excel (3.0 and 4.0).  The problem was not present with Word 5.0

When 5.1 is closed (no files, but program still in memory) the all-grey
persists.  When 5.1 is Quit, the original pattern is re-displayed.

Any idea what is going on?  It is a) disconcerting and, b) might
suggest a more serious problem.
