       I have a color problem with accepting-values. In the accepting-values  
       I define accepts with different colors.
       Example:
       (accepting-values (stream :own-window t :resynchronize-every-pass t)
	  (with-drawing-options (stream :ink +red+)
	    (setf val1 

		  (accept 'string :stream stream :default val1)))
	  (with-drawing-options (stream :ink +blue+)
	    (setf val2
		  (accept 'string :stream stream :default val2))))

       If CLIM create the window all is fine. The strings have the given 

       color. If I change one value all items, will be drawn in the  
       medium-foreground color. I suppose the accept doesn't regonize the  
       drawing options and the accepting-values would not call the whole  
       body again. 

       The only solution that I known is to define a new presentation type  
       with a special accept-method. But this is in my opinion a wrong way.

   This works properly in CLIM 2.0.  I don't know exactly what changed from
   CLIM 1.1 here, so I can't offer any patches for you.  Sorry about that.

This seems to work for me in Lucid 4.0.2 with CLIM 1.1.  What platform
are you using?
