it sounds like you already have fixed it.  -great, thanks.

I'll play with these sometime. I also notice that the white is out of 
proportion a bit. Is there a page/link that tells me a little more about 
these numbers?  Is it linear between 0 and 65536, with 32768 half way 
and 28000 less than half?  Also, I noticed last night that Xaw allows 
changes to the Hue, but Myth doesn't appear to.  Is there a reason, or 
am I incorrect?  Also, is the default 50% for all channels or something 
else?
