Is possible to use some textured sky_sphere, but specify, that each
raiosity ray, which geos out of scene, gathers some specified color, not
color of sky? When I have blue sky, all objects in scene takes blue
color, it not what I want...

I'll second that. I had the same problem playing around with it the other
day. I need the blue sky because it shows, but radiosity made everything
blue! General "radiosity no" switch per object?

IMO it would be better to have a separate 'radiosity_ambient' finish
component, but anyway this should not be necessary in most cases.
Some things that can be done about too strong effects of blue sky:
- The main light source usually should be quite yellow-orange. The
configuration suggested by Kari Kivisalo is often a good basis:
news://news.povray.org/39B59C6A.59AA5E52@kivisalo.net
- The objects' colors and finishes have to be adapted to radiosity
lighting. This can always solve the problem, you can even use negative
blue color components although this should not be necessary.
- finally you can also play with the radiosity settings, especially
'brightness', 'gray_threshold' and 'max_sample'.

For your sky, try using a large hollow sphere with no_reflection (in
MegaPOV). This should cause the sphere to be visible by camera rays
only (i.e. directly). Specify whatever background color you wish and
it should tint the radiosity accordingly.
Oh, and please let us know if it works :)

Good idea, I'll try it. I don't know, is radiosity rays are taken as "reflected" or
not ...
Another solution is to add radiosity_background, or some similar setting to POV...

Sure ;-).

I don't think this will work...as far as I know, radiosity samples are
taken as if they were camera rays, so if it is visible to the camera, it
is visible to radiosity.

I wonder why. It doesn't make sense to me. Can someone please explain?

Because radiosity doesn't have anything to do with ordinary reflection?
I know diffuse illumination is from reflection in the real world, but
radiosity doesn't have anything to do directly with the value specified
using the "reflection" keyword, so I don't think it would make sense for
"no_reflection" to affect it. The "no_image" keyword might, but it will
also make it invisible to the camera...a "no_radiosity" flag is needed.
I think to be really useful, we would need some kind of
"visibility_group" or "interaction_group" feature to specify which
objects reflect/transmit which objects. Maybe separate
"reflection_group", "radiosity_group", "transparence_group", etc...but I
think a single group keyword should be able to control all of this.

But no_reflection also affects filtered/transmitted and refracted
rays... I think it only checks camera rays for intersection.
