Actually, this is very weird. When I check the tiled clones, they DO
have the colour that the underlying bitmap image had, but they don't
show that colour!? When I click on one of the clones, it shows me a
certain colour for fill and stroke, and everything appears to have
100% opacity, but the rectangle clone in question still appears to
have it's original stroke and no fill, unchanged. Why would it show me
the object has color and full opacity and not show it?

Confused.
