reverse video in pop-up accepting values window

    The default pop-up accepting-values window (i.e., :own-window t)
    appears black on white on a monchrome screen.  I have been unable to
    reverse the appearance.

I think that CLIM 1.1 fixes a bug in which changing the foreground and
background of a frame propagate the changes to the inferior panes.

By the way, in CLIM 1.1 on Genera, Function C will correctly "reverse
the video" of a CLIM window.

    ****************************************

    Attempt #1 (on the Symbolics):

    (defmethod clim:run-frame-top-level :before ((frame accept-values))
      (with-slots (own-window) frame
	 (setf (clim:medium-foreground own-window) clim::+white+
	       (clim:mdeium-background own-window) clim::+black+)))

    and get an Output Hold that locks the display.  If I precede the setf with
    (window-expose own-window), I am thrown in the debugger attempting to
    expose a TEMP-CLIM-SHEET outside of its superior.

    ****************************************

    Attempt #2 (on the Symbolics):

    (define-application-frame my-accept-values ()
	()
       (:panes ((only-pane :application
			   :stream-foreground clim::+white+
			   :stream-background clim::+black+))))
    and calling it via:

    (accepting-values :frame-class 'my-accept-values) with no luck.

    The :stream-foreground/background pane options seem to be ignored.

    Thank you for any help you can give me.
