Actually that has been improved for version1.0  (and maybe before, I
don't really remember.)  Rather than double buffering the display (a 
pretty expensive way to stop the color separation) John is using a 
color map that places all of the most commonly used colors and backgrounds
in separate bits of the bitplane.  That way the effect only becomes 
apparent for unusual combinations.  This is IMHO a really neat way to 
approach the problem.  (I kind of wish I'd thought of it myself.)  -kls
