Forms 5.0 - unwanted default properties

I'm developing in Forms 5.0, and I'm using object libraries heavily.
But I've got this problem. . .
Let's say I have a blank canvas. I create a text item, and the item comes up gray. When I look at the properties for that item, there is a square next to all of the visual properties, like font, background color, font size, etc., which means that those properties have been changed. If I base that item on a smartclass, it inherits all of the smartclasses properties except those visual ones, since manual changes override inheritance. So when I look at the property list again after basing the item on the smartclass, the red 'X' of "not inherited" appears where the squares were. I have to reinherit every one of these properties for every object I create by hand. This blows away any time I originally saved by using object libraries. I hate this! What am I doing wrong? I really appreciate your help, and will endeavor to return the favor.
