This is nice. And it is not such nasty, I can understand it, no problems.
It seems Colorset tracker has a small problem in reporting the new
colorset data in the place where the old should be reported.
The purpose of such tool is clear. If you have a lot of colorsets, for
example fvwm-themes uses about 37, you want to see them all.
Some problems with the attached module:
* It doesn't sort colorsets, I added "sort { $a <=> $b }" to keys.
* It shows only 12 first colorsets for me, the scrollbar widget should be
added. I should add "Style ShowColorsets ResizeHintOverride", otherwise
Tk limits its windows to the screen size.
* It is a bit slow. Yes, it creates 148 colored rectangles in my case,
surrounded by other widgets, but 14 sec even on my slow CPU is many.
* There is an error in line 49, dump() gets a wrong parameter.
* There is a problem with refresh, try to WindowShade the window.
* Only tiled pixmaps are supported. But here probably nothing can be done
without implementing rendering for other pixmap types.
Actually I intended that one 3d-looking rectangle (that uses all fg, bg,
sh, hi, fgsh, pixmap) is shown for one colorset, but showing 6 rectangles
may be useful too.
Other than this, a great tool. :)

Mikhael.
