Color Map Problem, WM problem 2

[Gilles Noyer <g noyer lectra com>]

Hi

 In fact if I have X with 256 colors my application can't alloc all
necessary colors
so it alloc them in a private color Map. Normally this do a flashing
when you change 
the focused window : If my window has focus it is ok, and if there no
focus it is not ok.
This work fine with fvwm. With Gnome fvm my application is alway display
with bad colors, it 
seem that my private colormap is not seem by the WM.

 I am using the last gnome of the 11 Feb 1999. 
 Imblib1.9.2-3
 gmore 0.99.7
 On a PC with RedHat5.2.
