It looks that if I put "ambient_light rgb 0" in the global settings, 
then set ambient to some high number in an individual finish, I don't 
get the "glow" effect if I'm using radiosity. It looks like to get a 
"lightbulb" doing radiosity, I have to edit all the textures I'm using 
to add "ambient 0" to the texture, then leave global ambience at a 
postitive number, and set "ambient 3" on the lightbulb itself?

Just trying to figure this one out... :-) Clues appriciated.
