Inconvinient colormap

[Harold L Hunt II]

Rodrigo,

Hmm... that is potentially a very helpful observation.

I cannot remember off-hand whether the color map is arbitrarily 
constructed, or whether I read the colors from the Windows color table. 
 In either case, it is possible that I have a simple off-by-one error in 
how the colors are set.

Could you send in your /tmp/XWin.log file from when you run in 256 color 
mode?  I need to know a few things that are contained in that log file.

Thanks,

Harold
