Thanks - the application is something generated on the AIX box and viewed
on the Linux box.
The rgb.txt files on both side are pretty much identical
Here are the locations on both boxes:
AIX: /usr/lpp/X11/lib/X11/rgb.txt
Linux: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt
I couldnt' locate a private rgb.txt file for my application
so I don't think it has a private colormap, so I don't know what causes it.
Pretty mysterious.
