Re: screen-gamma not always effective?

[Richard Stallman]

    - creating a stub ~/.emacs containing just

      (setq default-frame-alist '((screen-gamma . 1.0)))
      (setq initial-frame-alist '((screen-gamma . 1.0)))

That definitely ought to do it.

    In all cases I am seeing the same effect: those parts of the screen
    showing text are displayed in the gamma corrected colour, the other
    parts of the screen remain remain in the brighter uncorrected colour.

Well, that suggests that some places in Emacs are using the specified
color without calling gamma_correct first.

    The parts of the screen showing the brighter colour include parts of
    the scroll bar (when displaying files longer than one screen-full of
    text) and also the mini-buffer when entering text.

Can someone please fix this, then ack?
