Hello everyone,

Consider this simple plot:

Plot[ x, { x, 0, 1 } ];

It works as expected, with ticked axes and all. Now try this:

Plot[ x, { x, 0, 1 }, PlotLabel -> "Foo" ];

On my computer (PowerComputing PowerCenter Pro 180 running Mathematica 
3.0.1.1x under MacOS 8.5), this plot works fine, except that the axes
are  gone! Now, try this other one:

Plot[ x, { x, 0, 1 }, Background -> GrayLevel[ 0.75 ] ];

Once more things work as expected, with axes, and a nice shade of gray
as  the background color, but

Plot[ x, { x, 0, 1 }, PlotLabel -> "Foo", Background -> GrayLevel[ 0.75
] ];

gives again a plot without axes and with a *white* background.

Is anyone experiencing similar problems? Does anyone have any idea why
this  is happening?

Thanks in advance.
Wagner Truppel
