Many can't stand surfing with a textmode browser. Count me in both groups. So I switch back and forth a lot. This email is being composed in a true text console (80 columns x 48 rows; but that's another story). I flip to X for surfing/spreadsheets/etc. When I do, I find that the colours on my current machine's display are corrupted. Clicking on a window will reset most of the colours, but the window title-bar still looks like colour confetti. Background info... I'm running 32-bit X86 Gentoo on an Intel Core2 Duo cpu.
