What would be cooler would be a window manager that manages the colormap
in an intelligent manner. For instance, when Netscape was minimized, its
colormap entries would be saved and freed up, and when it was restored the
colormap would be brought back, so that people can still use 8bit for
speed but still enjoy the ability to run several colorful programs
simultaneously, even if the colors weren't that great and they couldn't be
displayed at the same time. Does such a program exist? Would something
like this work?
