gEDA-user: solder pads showing on wrong side of board.

Hi all,
	I have run into a snag trying to use the symbols that John Luciani has 
shared.  I really like how he has created the oval shaped solder pads. 
However, they are printing on the front side of my layout.
Only the round pin/pads are showing on the back side.
	If I use the red component line to make the oval shape, it turns into a 
light grey/far side layer of the element, which shows on the correct 
(back) side of the board, but it also completely covers the pad hole in 
the print image. (?)  If I use the blue/solder line, it turns it into an 
element similar to John's, and it still prints on the fron side of the 
board.
	I have also tried to play with the layer preferences, and have gotten 
no change in how the element prints.
	I am using version 20050609 on a Mac.  Is this a bug that has been 
worked out in more current versions?  Or am I missing something?

Thanks for any advice,

Dave
