** Description changed:

  This might be related to this bug, but is *not* a duplicate:
  http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13921
  
  This is in Ubuntu Desktop Intrepid Ibex.
  
  I am trying to run Crossover Office over FreeNX. This is a
  paravirtualised machine so I have no access to the Xorg console #7. The
  exact error when trying to run, is:
  
  "cxsetup:error: error initializing Tk: 'this isn't a Tk
  applicationunknown color name "Black"'. Check the DISPLAY variable
  (:1000.0) and your access permissions (see xauth or xhost)."
  
  The problem might be that there is no rgb.txt in /etc/X11 or 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11. There is a broken symlink in one of those directories, but 
the file is missing.
  No big problem, I just copied the rgb.txt file from a Debian Etch machine to 
/etc/X11 and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11, but this did not fix the problem (rebooting 
does not help). I did a lot of searching on the Internet and installed xcolors. 
However, I can't run xcolors. The output is:
  
  "Warning: Color name "snow" is not defined
  xcolors: Not enough room in color map.
  To see colors after this, use the -start option to name a starting color.
  xcolors: no colors to display"
  
  FYI, snow is the first line in rgb.txt (255 250 250 snow)
  
- I also tried a VNC session instead of a FreeNX session, this made no 
difference.
- I was able to run Crossover Office on another physical Ubuntu machine, 
without using FreeNX or VNC.
