Getting frustrated with bugs... 2005-06-03 - By Bernard Lebel

Okay I think I understand your problem now -hopefully.
In shaded mode, the viewport is basically the diffuse color. If there
is a texture plugged into that, you will still the diffuse color in
the viewport.
However if you switch to texture or texture decal then you will see
the actual texture being plugged.
I think this is a bug.
Regarding the ambience issue, I have no idea.
Keep in mind though that viewport display of texture and materials is
all but reliable. You should never rely on this for any shading work,
unless it's realtime shader work.
Cheers
