so maybe you know what the ncolors argument in
void Gdk::Colormap::free_colors(Color&        colors,    int      ncolors)
is for ? i asked this some time ago, and murray told me i should file a 
bug, which i did ...
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157744

ps: in gtkmm-2.2 this function looks different: void free_colors 
(GdkColor* colors, int ncolors) which seems to
     make more sense ....
