Dear Liam,
thank you once again. With
device, pseudo=8
I got the same effects. But now it was able to fix the problem: I switched
the X server to 32 Mio colors and now everything works fine.
Thank you very much for your help!!
Harald

I don't use any X resource settings, just the following startup file:
;---cut here---
;- Set up 8 bit display and allocate colors
device, retain=2, decomposed=0, pseudo=8
window, /free, /pixmap, colors = -5
wdelete, !d.window
;- Set graphics and widget font sizes
device, set_character_size=[6,9]
widget_control, default_font='7x13'
;- Ensure IDL 5 XMANAGER behavior is consistent with IDL 4
xmanager, catch=0
;---cut here---
This gives me consistent results on all Unix platforms. Set the
environment variable IDL_STARTUP to the full path and name of the
startup file. Note that if True Color mode is desired, replace
'pseudo=8' with 'true=24' in the the DEVICE keywords.
Cheers,
Liam.
