If you mean that the rest of the desktop suddenly starts using the same colours, how deep is your display? If that doesn't make sense, can you post the results of grep DefaultDepth /etc/X11/xorg.conf I'm guessing that you've only got 256 colours (8 bit depth). If you have, then this is an old problem inherent in sharing 256 colours between several programs. Try reconfiguring your graphics to use more colours.
