I thought of another "not so good way" that Keith Rollin didn't mention:
Before showing your window, temporarily change the bkPat of the Window
Manager port to black.  Be sure to change it back to white once the window
is drawn! You may also need to set the window's bkPat to black to prevent
a flash.  And you would probably need a custom WDEF that can draw its frame
properly when the bkPat is black.  (I did enough experimentation with this
to convince myself that it could be made to work.)
