AHA! Yes that is it! I had decomposed=0 in there, and it locked IDL into
Direct Color, and causing device,true=24 commands to be ignored, and
hence the goofy diret color behaviour.

Now I get normal color. YAY!
Thanks a lot for help!

For any who are interested, here is my startup script:

;startup.pro
;calls my startup procedures for idl

; DISPLAY _________________

; fix the IDL 5.5/Linux colour problem
if strlowcase(!version.os) eq 'linux' then device,true=24
if strlowcase(!version.os) eq 'linux' then window,/pixmap &wdelete ; fix the IDL 5.5/Linux colour problem
if strlowcase(!version.os) eq 'linux' then device,bypass_translation=0
if strlowcase(!version.os) eq 'linux' then device,retain = 2

device,decomposed=0

print,'Startup ran'
