I oversimplified. The X server has the concept of a "set of installed colormaps". The aforementioned SGI hardware was capable of installing several colormaps at the same time, and kept track of which windows use which colormap. X supports that. But the vast majority of X servers can only install one colormap at a time. If there is a complicated way to do something, X has implemented it. If there's more than one complicated way to do something, X implements an even more complex and general solution that includes all the complicated methods as special cases. We just love X. -- Bob Miller K<bob> kbobsoft software consulting http://kbobsoft.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]
