I am running xfmail as an email app. It's not really a problem, but I would like
 to know why I get this message (in the terminal) when I run it:
XFMail 1.1 p0 - Xwindows e-mail client for Linux

Failed to share colors. Using private colormap

I get the weirdest interface, all psychedelic colors,icons undecipherable, etc, 
but when I give the xfmail window 'hard' mouse focus (i,e. when I move it) I get
 a normal spiffy interface and all the other items on the desktop go color crazy
..
weird. It happens with another program, but I can't remember which (a window- 
manager, I think). I don't think it's a problem with permissions: runing as root
 gives the same effect (something to do with my symlinks?). Any suggestions?

thanks,
dns.
