From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.0-0.99.11 i586) The "Red Hat" icon displayed at the upper right of the login screen displays red, then turns brown when the login prompt appears. Cosmetic only. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Using a PC w/ 1 meg of video memory 2.8 bit display, highest resolution [1024/1280?] 3.bring up system and view login screen. And/or logout & see it again. Actual Results: The red hat turns brown. Expected Results: The red hat stays red?
Does the hat turn red again if you move the mouse pointer outside the login window? I didn't think GTK would install a private cmap but I guess it might. Owen will probably know immediately what's up.
FWIW, I have recently seen this same behavior on 7.0, installing 7.0 for a friend. I don't know the collection of hardware in that computer, but it's an older (early or mid 90's video card) with only 2 or 3 Meg of video memory.
I also experience this. I usually just ignore it since I've been using a 1MB video card for years and have gotten used to palette switching as a normal (although annoying) thing in X.
It _is_ palette-switching, though, right? i.e. if you move outside the login window you get the proper color for the Red Hat back?
