Hello,
	This may be a very trivial question to ask, but it has blotted me
for a lot time. When I try to set the background or foreground colour for
a widget, for example, a label using the following,

	XtSetArg(arg[i],XtNbackground, "blue"); i++;
	...
	XtSetValues(label, arg,i);

or in Motif

	XtSetArg(arg[i],XmNbackground, "blue"); i++;
	...
	XtSetValues(label, arg,i);

	The background colour of the label widget just doesn't seem to be
set to the colour stated, in this case, "blue".
	What do I have to do to make this to work?
Thanks,

Ghee Teo
