Then why does 32 bit color work? I'm rather scared of it too... but it's
becoming manageable. In fact, I think it's a lot easier than it used to
be... you should try it sometime. I only joined the "X" revolution a few
months ago.... I think that was in October or so.

That's an interesting idea. I don't think GNOME does because of it's
nature (GNOME is not a Window manager... hell I'm not too sure what GNOME 
does), but I could see kwm doing something like that. I'll try KDE tonight
if I have time.

It worked fine w/ my Permedia 2, but since the Permedia 2 didn't run in 24
bit color, I had no clue.
