Hi,
the new features of 5.6 looks great - thanks! 

I still get the strange shade difference - these two plots show the
output using the script I sent earlier, executed with and without
-gif, and the 5.6 version (on a RH8 system if that matters?)

the correct output comes without the -gif option:

with -gif:
