Okay, will you help me with the en_EN and then we can take all that
misspelled stuff and make it en_US.

Unfortunately, the steps you describe (clicking the colour wheel and
changing the saturation) are exactly the ones I followed. As I said the
only way I could get the Modify button to be activated was (depending on
the thing I wanted to change the colour of) to select either black or some
shade of grey.
Clicking on the colour wheel deactivates Modify.
Spinning the colour wheel deactivates Modify.
Sliding S deactivates Modify unless S==0.
Sliding V deactivates Modify if (S!=0 and the object == GUI_???)
or (the object != GUI_??? and V corresponds to some limited
discrete grey colours)
Clicking Apply has no apparent effect after changing colours even on those
rare occasions when Modify has been active and I've pressed it.
Shouldn't Apply be deactivated until after Modify has been pressed when
fiddling with colours?
Perhaps, this helps clarify the situation.
FYI, I tried this with the GUI_XXX options, all the inset background
colours, the footnote colour, the background colour, the text colour and
the cursor colour.
