I'm having a problem setting default colors.  I want to check whether
the current display is color before I set them, but this requires a
"struct graphic *".

For example:

    if (graphic_DisplayClass(view_GetDrawable(self)) &
    graphic_Color){
        graphic_SetDefaultColors("white","blue");
    }

This won't work in InitializeObject because I don't have a "drawable"
yet.  If I wait until InsertView or something, the default colors for
the graphic are already set.  I would like these defaults to be used by
all subwindows of this view.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
-- Dave
