ITunes 6 screen messed up

Question

I recently installed iTunes 6, having used iTunes 4 for some time now without too many problems. I immediately noticed that the screen updating doesn't really work at all.
When I minimize the window to background and do something else, and later restore it, sometimes the text is all messed up. It looks like it prints two or three layers of text on each row, making everything unreadable. I have to minimize/maximize the window a few times to be able to see what is going on.
Another problem is browsing albums. When I click on the different songs, sometimes it suddenly displays a rating for the song it didn't have a second earlier, and a while later it shows a different one. I was rating a few CDs I just imported, one being Queen's A Night at The Opera. I listened to the songs, rated half of them, and suddenly noticed Bohemian Rhapsody having 5 stars even though I hadn't touched it. I clicked it, clicked another song, and the rating was empty. I went through 2 other songs, and suddenly BR had rating of 3 stars. Again I clicked on it, and it emptied.
What guarantee do I have that the ratings I have saved so far actually stay? I've done lots of work to import my CD collection to iTunes, and if all that work is lost, I will get rid of every single piece of Apple software and hardware I've ever had and curse the whole company to the depths of lower ****.

This is an unbelievable work-around, and solves my problem, albeit temporarily.
My biggest issue is that I run iTunes as a jukebox on an old PC from PC's, wireless tablets that run Remote Desktop Protocol, and Macs, and now my iPhone via the Remote app.
This color problem is an issue when using RDP at all from PC's or the tablets I use.
It is a royal pain in my butt! The only reason I updated iTunes is for the iPhone remote, and that messed up everything as far as these absurd color issues. RDP will not "serve" at 32 bit color depth unless you are running a server version, which is overkill and expensive for this application!
I really do not need all of the bloated features that Apple has introduced into iTunes, and was quiet happy running V6 for years, which is very small and simple.
It also bugs me that Apple keeps removing useful buttons like EQ, and Browser view, which I used all of the time!
Who makes these decisions?
What we need is another iTunes "Lite" version for applications such as this, when you just want to run iTunes as a Jukebox app. iTunes is by far the best music interface there is.
Why does adding bloated features and updates have to keep removing everyday useful functions?
I would be very happy running Version 6, with the added feature of support for the Remote app for the iPhone/iPod touch.
It seems to me that base on this marvelous workaround which has prompted my reply, that it would be a very simple matter for Apple to make a minor patch or fix that enables lower color depth functionality. It worked before!
Apple, are you listening?
Do you ever read these postings?
Quit meddling with what works for the sake of changes that no one cares about!!
