Hi, Scott

Before I gave up my own whole solution to use GBrowse, I still want to 
bother you once:

As you suggested, I put -postgrid option when the panel, which will call 
a function to draw the background. The code below is almost copied from 
the online POD of Bio::Graphics::Panel (see 
http://doc.bioperl.org/releases/bioperl-current/bioperl-live/Bio/Graphics/Panel.html 
)

But it still does not work. Could you help to have a look? I paste it 
below. (BTW, the above page of POD, the -postgrid=>\&draw_gap, while the 
gap drawing function is gap_it, not draw_gap. I guess it's a typo. or not?)

  my $panel = *Bio::Graphics::Panel*->new(-segment=>$segment,
                                        -grid=>1,
                                        -width=>600,
                                        -postgrid=> \&draw_gap);
  sub gap_it {
     my $gd    = shift;
     my $panel = shift;
     my ($gap_start,$gap_end) = $panel->location2pixel(500,600);
     my $top                  = $panel->top;
     my $bottom               = $panel->bottom;
     my $gray                 = $panel->translate_color('gray');
     $gd->filledRectangle($gap_start,$top,$gap_end,$bottom,$gray);
}

My question is: if using bioperl 1.2.3 (actually the Bio::Graphics in bioperl 1.2.3), I can get the right image I want (see the attached file "test.bioperl1.2.3.png"), where the highlight range will go from the roof to the floor. While in bioperl 1.5 (or 1.6), I only can see the highlight region in its own track, not the whole panel. OK, did I explain clearly now? you can see the difference of the two images.
