Yes, you are right, I did this from memory, but now I have NeXTStep installed 
on my other machine. The background is solid.

Here it looks exactly as under NeXTStep (I modified the colors in extern.m to 
be more NeXTStepish).

I just looked under NeXTStep, there are two Versions of the Slider (at least in 
one dialog in wetpain), one with stippled background, and one with solid.

I have put two screenshots online, one showing a NeXTStep Session (the colors 
on the screenshot are to dark, they are quite like the ones on the GNUstep 
screen), one showing my GNUstep Session. (with my patch)
