Since I ran both an SS2 and an SS5 as desktop workstations some time,
I encountered exactly that problem. My solution was to run X in 8bit
grayscale mode. The downside is no colors at all anymore, the upside
is no more mocking around with colormaps. And yes, high-res grayscale
looks far better than 8bit color.

I usually run windowmaker on most of my systems. No complaints so
far. Worth another peek could be pwm, lightweight and capable of a
really nice feature that allows to "snap" windows together and access
them via tabs.


Cheers,
Chris
