I, too, was having all kinds of color problems due to the configuration
of my new machine, and trying to uderstand the intricacies of X-Windows
*and* IDL together. I have decided to live with the color-flashing (it
really doesn't bother me) and stay in 8-bit color mode rather than go
to 24-bit color with a smaller screen resolution. Since I can control
the colors of my xterm's I can easily find a text/background combination
I'll be able to read when the color tables switch in the flash -
however,
my question is, is there a way to control the text/background colors
of the IDLDE? It comes up black on white whic becomes black on black
in the flash. If not, I'll just have to stick with running IDL in
an xterm.
