Richard,

I have found the same doing some plots yesterday, only that I saved the
plot to a postscript file from the graphics window for inclusion in a
LaTeX report.  The only way I could get the background to be white was
by using

trellis.device(postscript,file="lattice1.ps",color=TRUE,bg="white")
...
dev.off()

which seems to work fine.

Cheers,

Andreas
(running WinNT4, R1.3.1, lattice 0.3-0, grid 0.2)
