blue hue YDL 4.0

This is an issue with running GTK2 apps under KDE when not in
extremely high colour mode. Affects me on my Sony Vaio under Debian
also.

The problem lies in your card in that you're not using either the
proper drivers or a high colour mode - its likely you're using
openfirmware framebuffer in 256 colour mode.

I don't have a suitable machine to get an XF86Config file from, but
I'm sure someone here does. You'll be able to get faster and clearer
picture with a proper setup.
