 Lars> Yes...  and what is the modeline background color name?

I am beginning to understand the reason for the universal use of the
toolbar background colours in the Gnus xpm files, since - it seems -
the toolbar is a "real" Xt widget and the modeline is not (or at least
not in the same sense as the toolbar is, having its own colour and
shading names).  This is implied in the XEmacs source, at least to
this noddy, and indicated as well in the .Xdefault settings:

  Emacs.modeline*attributeBackground

vs.

  Emacs*backgroundToolBarColor

It would be easy enough for me to customize the xpm file, but a more
general solution would have been nice.

Just out of curiosity, would a setting of "none" provide an
acceptable general solution if my assumptions about modeline as a
second-class widget with no "proper" background colour name are true?
