box colours in lattice (was RE: [R] Strip location and grid colour in Lattice)

[Prof Brian Ripley]

If you mean the rectangular boxes surrounding the panels and strips, they 
are drawn by grid.rect() and not under the control of lattice.

If so, it is *not* a grid but a series of boxes, and they don't always
align perfectly, as example(xyplot) shows on my screen (and if you
had some space between the plots this would be clearer to you).

You could alter the grid.text calls in print.trellis to change the colour 
....
