Dark colors really show off the weaknesses of the display on this
laptop.  The colors are uneven, especially along the borders.

It was suggested to me to use Gainsboro as the background, and that
seems to be working OK.  I get a nice, even background, and using
black as the default text color works very well.  All the default Gnus 
colors also work by default using this background (which is a very
light gray background).

Now, if only I could get used to this keyboard...  Absolutely all the
keys are in the wrong place, and there's far too few modifier keys.
I'm thinking I should just remap the entire bottom row to give me
Hyper and Super, as well as extra Control and Meta keys...
