Colors work just fine for me.  I'm using RedHat 8.0 and the kde terminal 
(konsole), with python 2.2.1.

The readline stuff also works perfectly for me.

Basically I can see no difference whatsoever between running ipython embedded 
and  a 'naked' run.  As far as I can see, on my system, the ipython-in-C works 
100% like the pure python one.

I hope you can resolve the issues on your platform.  Keep cc-ing the list on 
your replies, someone may pop up out of the woodwork with an idea.

Best,
