I'd like to do that, I'd also like for them to be different.  However, this
doesn't work.  I thought of it and tried it, to no avail.

What I'm doing exactly is putting a buntch of dialog items within another dialog
item witch it also a view.  Sometimes I'd like the view and the window to be
different colors.  BTW, set-color also fails to work with the view.
