There are many possible states for fringes, of which quite a few will probably be popular (some that come to mind are full/full [the default], 0/full, half/half, and 0/0 [no fringes]), and I don't think that image we should present to users is of something that is either all there or not there at all. [Incidentally, why did your patch preload `fringe'? I shouldn't think it would be necessary.] -Miles -- A zen-buddhist walked into a pizza shop and said, "Make me one with everything."
