#745 Cluster test won't display on 256 colors

[Jeremy Siadal]

Some of the colors selected for the cluster test won't
display on 256 colors. The Test window opens, but the text
showing which test is running isn't displayed.

The console output shows that colors "wheat" and "orchid"
are not available.

This is on RHEL (all versions that I've tested) using GNOME.

The 256-color display is standard at our site to help reduce
KVM/IP traffic.

Can you reset your xterm to use a different color set? I
mean, is this an xterm problem or a problem with the testing
software?

I'm sure I can change the palette and find something that
works. My concern is that OSCAR test doesn't work with the
default Red Hat GNOME palette in 256 colors.

How hard is it to change the test software to use only
globally-available colors?

Jeremy, if you can show me how to reproduce this using VNC,
I'll take a look.

Basically I think I need to change my display settings to
use 256 colors, but for some reason when I invoke vncserver,
it is still using more colors than that (at least I can
still see the correct colors for the test text).
