I was using the new X Window Systems' ability to output starbase
to a window, when I stumbled onto a very interesting thing:  When
the cursor enters the starbase window, the color maps change just
like I supposed they would.  Unfortunately, the REST of the screen
turns a kind of reddish-orange extremely distracting hue.  Like
groovy!  Unfortunately, this is somewhat distracting.  Has anybody
else noticed this?  Is this a "feature" to draw attention to the
new facility?  Couldn't a black background replace the outside
windows, so the day-glow orange colors couldn't be seen?  I need
my shades..:-)

Computers: HP370 TurboSRX and HP360 CH, running 6.5 HP-UX. Problem
(feature?) on both machines.
