Thank you for reporting, because although i solved the problem, removing
the background image, I have never figured out why already existing colors
changed. I want to mention that under the same circumstances (background image
present ...) when forcing app to use private colormap, all colors i took
where black. (Not even a single of them something different from black)
Also as i allocate the colors using fl_map_color, all xterms that appear on
desktop that are black, turn to white and then to black. Everything that has a
black color on desktop flashes...
I dont know whats happenning, i only add -private in command line.
I dont know if this is the proper thing to happen. When removing the image,
everything is ok.
