I'm using Yellow Dog Linux, and color is distorted when I run certain progams, Yellow Dog is based on Red Hat if that helps, anything I can do?

Only specific apps? Strange. Do you have any examples of what works and what doesn't?

Also a screenshot would be interesting, and possibly helpful.

I think it's all apps, and some colors come up correclty, if I can figure out how to make a screenshot I will post one.
