That's a good idea Tony.  If you run in combined mode, then xwcreate your
Starbase windows with a "depth" parameter of either 8 or 24, then they 
will be created in the image planes while the rest of X will be in the
overlays.  You only get one screen this way (with as many as three 
visual types) but your Starbase programs won't cause a technicolor root
window.
