Well, the standard game is almost unplayable now with the x11
interface.  Infantry, armor, and bomb are invisible in the mountains;
several unit icons are hard to recognize in the unit list; unit icons
in the side closeup are mostly black.

Do you have mac screenshots of the standard game, to see how things
should look like?  (BTW, you still have screenshots of the Tolkien
game in http://www.cygnus.com/~shebs/xconq/tolkien.html)

I could try to hack a fix, e.g. supplying masks, but I can't
understand where the colorful images come from.  I see no trace of
them in the .imf files.


For xshowimf, I had an old version floating around. :-(  The latest
version mostly works; I just think it should ignore synthetic images
when listing family contents:
