oh.. I was still testing while you fixed it! You are one of the best ones!

Tests on Intel:

once again.. the code was general, but SPARC was more sensitive....

I was proposing to add it to the test suite, but I saw you did with a
later commit. Does it make sense to have both 1 & 0 as tests?


I also confirm that now interface colors come up correctly on both
SPARC32-bit and SPARC64bit.
With Fred's fixes in GUI... SPARC64 is working fine again, I can launch
several complex applications like GWorkspace and PRICE without spotting
gross errors.
