??? These two paragraphs seem to contradict one another: the first one
says that the difference between the windowed and non-windowed session
is small (which is expected, as the former one has more colors than
256), while the latter says that the difference is large (``borders on
unreadable'' vs ``everything is fine'').  I wonder how can this
happen.  Can you shed some light on this?
