* Clicking on an inventory object name gives the spinning inventory object an incorrect palette. It may have to do with the setPalette() calls in UserInterface::selectObject(). They look strange to me since, as I understand it, they take the ''first'' colors of _mainPalette and copy them to the 8th and 247-248th color entries of the backend's palette.

** Similarly, the setPalette() call in Dialog::restore() looks strange as well, but I haven't noticed any visible glitches from that.
