Monitor x1 only 16 colors

[Randy Hills]

The problem you describe is both a function of X, your display, and 
Grass.  Basically, the colors allocated by monitor x0 aren't readably 
transferable to other monitors (or other windows for that matter).  A 
temporary solution is to use the capabilities of d.frame within monitor x0.
