What problems do you see?

I'm using ImLib 1.9.2, Gnome 0.99.7 and the very latest snap of Enlightenment 
0.15 on a Sun with 2 8bpp framebuffers - thats 256 colours per screen.  And it 
all works fine, but for the colour flashing you mention.

In fact it works *astonishingly* well, compared to CDE on the same hardware, as 
Imlib is so much better at closest-colour allocation than the standard X stuff.

So, what's wrong?
