Why does the color palette go technicolor when I run UNCERT?

This is related to how X-Windows handles private color maps. Under X-Windows, only 256 colors are supported in a single window (on some systems this can be worked around), and usually on the entire display. When you start the X-Windows enviroment, X assigns a default colormap; it defines each of the 256 colors. Because the default color palette cannot meet all of UNCERT’s needs, several modules must overwrite many of these colors to correctly display their information. When this overwrite occurs, colors used by other applications, or by the X-Windows environment itself maybe changed. When you switch to another application (not an UNCERT module), the color palette should switch back to the default color palette. Chances are the UNCERT module colors will now look unusual. I cannot eliminate this problem, but I have been working on reducing the severity of the problem.
