[PyMOL] making composite stick and cartoon pictures

[Craig Smith]

I've been making pictures of a protein using the cartoon command.  At 
times, I like to create a subset of residues as sticks and display them 
on top of the cartoon in a different color.  The problem is that color 
of the stick residue changes the color of part of the cartoon under it. 
 One way to work around this is to load the coordinates twice and use 
one to make the cartoon drawing and use the other to make the sticks.  
The is real pain!!!  There has got to be an easier way to do this.  Any 
ideas?
