If your WIN-OS2 full-screen desktop has a bitmapped backdrop (does
yours?), then a seamless app will muck with the palette, making the PM
palette match the WIN-OS2 palette.  This is a bug, since the
background bitmap should be ignored by seamless apps.

Try Setting the background bitmap to (none) and see if this solves
your problem.
