I'm sure they're in there because I've been using IDL for a long time?

I removed all of my start up commands. So it's not running any IDL startup
script, (verified this because it couldn't find fsc_color()) when I tried to
run it first.

I open up the gimp and I get the same problem, mostly R:248 G:252 B:248.

So, long story, short, with no startup commands, I get the same issues.
I've had this on several versions of IDL. I'm currently running 6.2, under
SuSE Linux 9.x.

I also tried with just these commands in the startup file.

device, true=24
device, retain=2, decomposed=0,set_character_size=[10,12]
device, get_visual_depth = depth

I get the same thing.

Anyone with suggestions?

Thanks
Matt

WOW. Here's a suprising aside! With no startup file, if my IDL window is
open in the background, in my generated png, I get what is in my foreground?
See it here: http://cires.colorado.edu/~savoie/test.png

Hmm. I wonder if I had a backing store setup in my idl_setup.pro. Sorry,
Looks like a false alarm, but I'll leave it in here in case someone else has
this problem and finds this on google. This is apparently the fixer.

I also have in my idl_startup.pro:
device, retain=2, decomposed=0, set_character_size[10,12]
