   Does anyone have a kit or an .Xdefaults file for monochrome displays so
   bevels/etc show up?

Either use -monochrome or put '*.gui: monochrome' in you Xdefaults, but on a
monochome display it should come up by default anyway.  However, what system
are you using?  With my 3.1-beta3, Apollo, and gcc 2.2.2 combination, I find
that the RGBTable colour cache in xwindow.c trashes the information that gets
stored there so I end up with white on white windows on my monochrome display
and this could be your problem too.

P.S.  The next person who tells me that it is all fixed in gcc.xtar.Z will
find a copy of it in their mailbox.  I really appreciate your help and thank
you for it but does everyone have to tell me this individually? :-)
