I don't think they are packaging problems, but if a fix is possible...
- color handling on this 8-bit display is really bad
- blending only works if the G in RGB is set to 127-130
(KDE11x was fine and other wm's are ok)
- desktop icons and the desktop menu usually appear colorless
(gray scaled?), even though the same icons on the panel,
application menu (whether activated from the panel or by
clicking on the root window) and windows menu are OK
- <rant>too many colors are being used up, even an app
I wouldn't consider a color hog, LyX, needs a private colormap
to startup</rant> <sigh> most "modern" wm's have this problem,
I guess I'll have to read up on ImageMagick's mogrify command
- when an app uses a private colormap the titlebar is
unreadable (I haven't noticed the problem with other wm's)
- colormap focus does not follow the mouse when moving to the
panel, when a panel icon is selected, or the background (both
root window and panel) are clicked on
- KDE is placing a .gtkrc file in users $HOME dirs (grrr, KDE shouldn't
affect the colors of apps running under a different wm, on a
different display)
- I'm still getting a .kde directory in /
- clicking on the root window brings up the associated menu (desktop,
windows, or applications), clicking a second time brings up the menu
again - instead of removing it
later,
Bruce
