Dear Maintainer,

Some images are displayed with fail colours. I realized it when browsing. Some
images seemed to be right in the browser until they are not clicked. But
clicked on the image (and even if it downloaded and displayed with an image
viewer) blue colours become purple, and it seems as colour depth would be only
8 bit or just a little more.
It can be observed with intel and radeon driver. (vesa driver do not work on my
laptop for some reason)
If the image is displayed in an image viewer (e.g. geeqie) the right colours
appear for a moment when zooming or jump to an other image, but immediately
switched to the fail colours. Switching to fullscreen the colours are OK until
jumping to an other image. Then wrong colours appear again.
And also backround colour of the icewm's clock is also strange. It should be
dark. Almost (if not) black, but it seems lighther and hazy.
Mightbe there is some bug in pixmap handling?

On outer screen (on a CRT monitor) colours are right, fail colours was observed
only on the laptop's screen.
