Thank you Scott, that was just the tip I needed to fix the horrible
color mapping on my Quadra 650.  KDE now looks pretty good and is
actually quite responsive considering its just a 33 MHz 040.

Now if someone could tell me how to get Crl-Alt-Fx keys to work and how
to map the Ctrl, and Alt keys to mimic mouse buttons 2 and 3 I'll have a
really useful setup.
