	I run with ``*ReverseVideo:on'' in
	my resources database (this causes everything to run in reverse video).
	When I start up xmh, the various windows, buttons, scroll bars, etc. are
	all drawn correctly except the text panes never show any text.

An immediate way to work around this problem is to put the
following lines in your resource database file:

*reverseVideo:	on
xmh*Text*background:	black
xmh*Text*foreground:	white

	P.P.S.  Shouldn't widgets handle the reverse video class all by themselves
	    without any help from their callers?

Yes.   (But it is not a ``class''.  It is a resource of a widget.)
