I have attached two graphic views to a rect view; a TextView and a StencilView.
Since the two attachments are siblings, they receive exactly the same treatment
in my code.  When I resize the rectangle, the Text and the bitmap in the
stencil get resized properly too.  However:  If I give the rectangle a pattern
other than "none", the bitmap decides to adopt the pattern as it's foreground
color whereas the Text does not.  When the pattern is a solid white, the bitmap
dissappears!  A comment somewhere in the InterViews code mentions working
around a botch in the Stencil implementation.  Is this related?

Thanks,
  Kari
