side names are displayed with gray color

Ah, I see, going to init_redraws and reading the code paths which
relate to sides leads me to the buggy code quickly enough.  Patch
enclosed (which should be relatively self-explanatory: a everingame
flag of false is producing the gray and the call path is
init_redraws(C)->update_side_display(C)->update_game_side_info(tcl)).

Of course not!  The question is "does the contract for init_redraws
say that <something else, if so what?> must be called first?"  And the
answer is no, that was just a bug in the tcltk part of the code.

	* tcltk/tkconq.tcl: If ingame and everingame are both set, set
	fill to black (so a single call with everingame false doesn't make
	it gray forever).
