FVWM: debian colors in X behave strange..

I haven't find an answer to a question that is important for me.
Something happens to colors in the debian distro that is NOT happening
in other linux distro's NOR FreeBSD.

Blanking the screen in X (xlock -mode blank) leaves me NOT w/ a black
screen. It's blanked and *gray* ???

Starting Midnight Commander gives me a LIGHT.blue screen instead of a
DARK.blue as happens in all other distro's.

I can go on like this. I get the feeling that *some* where kind of a
high bit is set that makes my screen give unnatural colors; that is, not
the colors that suppose to appear.

The distor behaves OK on cli colors, so I guess it must be something in
X that is set different by debian. I have absolutely NO idea where to
look.

The reason I ask here is that I really love fvwm and all my windows have
different background that I like to see the way I designed them ;-))

Can someone give me a hint where to look for this behaviour?
