Well, since I figured out how, it's
not a problem. Just when conducting
my tests to find out how to do it,
I started with view/new ...
so I couldn't see how to do it properly.

Also, here is a way to ensure that the backdrop
is redrawn correctly underneath a text:

view lay: layout [
        origin 0
        bd: backdrop effect [gradient]
        t: text "hello there" [
                append t/text " rebol"
                t/size: t/size + 40x0 ; room to accommodate longer text
                t/saved-area: none ; forget the image
                bd/size: lay/size: 4x4 + size-text t
                show lay
        ]
]

Anton.
