For these pictures, you will want to use logarithmic mode. Linear
works very well for photographic images but can be pretty much useless
for other images. But then, the histogram tool is mainly used with
photographic images, so it makes sense to have linear scale as the
default.

In linear mode you'll normally have a couple of peaks drowning
out everything else.

 Do I miss something in the histogram behaviour or is there something  
 special with linear/log modes ?

Linear mode is the default (several people requested this). You
can change this in the tool options, though.

Cheers,
Dave.
