Please respond by email.  Sorry if these have already been discussed.

Hardware configuration: Mac II with a color monitor.  Software is
multifinder; I think the system is 4.2 and the finder is 6.0.  The
setting in the monitors cdev is the highest (16 I think).

(1) Sometimes when the machine is booted the background printing
program comes up first but there isn't anything listed in the queue.
Clicking on its icon in the top right of the screen brings up the
finder and everything seems ok.  Is this something that I should be
worried about?

(2) When I use the Kolor cdev or double click on one of the color boxes
for fiddling with the desktop background pattern I get a color wheel
(which I think may be called the "color picker") and I can fiddle
around with the colors.  While fiddling with this color wheel I get the
impression that I can get lots of interesting colors.  When I click on
the OK box the color that I have picked doesn't "take".  With Kolor It
seems to only use the nearest "primary" colors (the center of the color
at the outside of the wheel).  With the background fiddler it switches
to the nearest color of what seems to be some built-in fixed colors.
What makes it strange is that while fiddling with the color wheel I can
get lots of interesting colors in the sample box in the top left.
