I would add that I am in the same boat. I have some backdrops that never seem
to come out with correct colour (look badly dithered to a small colourmap, very garish).
Whilend others that come out fine.
I'm fairly sure that it's image specific. I'll try to verify this later
today and if so, email you a "good" PNG and a "bad" PNG. With your
consent, naturally - they're probably large. And I haven't eliminated
mogrify from suspicion at my end yet, but I suspect it's not the culprit.
As with Ben, I'm using 2.5.4, full colour display.
I'm using a PNG generated from a JPG with ImageMagick's modulate command, thus:
mogrify -modulate 70 -format PNG tmpfile.jpg
and applying it like this:
ColorSet 0 AspectPixmap "tmpfile.png"
Internally, is FVWM on a full colour display making some kind of mapped
colour image when it sets up the Pixmap for a menu background?

A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
