As expected, either white (== background) or black (== foreground) 
depending on which pixel one chooses for the shading colour.  In the 
first case, it doesn't show at all, in the second case there is no 
difference from other entries.

However, I suspect not many people have monochrome displays nowdays. 
But if we wan't to keep support for monochrome displays, you can check 
with DefaultDepthOfScreen (XtScreen (mw)) == 1 if this is a monochrome 
screen and then fall back to stipple.

Or even simpler, if disabled_foreground is equal to the foreground pixel 
or equal to the background pixel, you should fall back to stipple.

But then again, it's been many years since I've seen a pure monochrome 
display.
