I have been using the Login.App program and like it better than
the default login. But when it runs X, it runs it in 8 bit color

I've submitted these two bugs to debian bugs, and got no
response; I submitted them again, and still got no response.
(Has the list address changed recently?) I could try again, but
then I would have to wait again, and so on, so... (In
