[pstricks] A badly posed question concerning pst3d-solides: found a workaround, but still don't understand

[Zbigniew Nitecki]

I found that if I change <\rput> commands to <\rput*> then not only does each node
appear (surrounded by a white box), but so do the <\uput> commands associated with them.

I am still confused why without the star in the \rputs the sphere overwrote the nodes, even though they are listed
after the sphere drawing.  It would be preferable to get these things to appear without the white boxes.
