Hi.

I don't have a bugzilla account and I don't really want to have one right now,
so I'm posting it here instead of as a comment on bugzilla. Still I am writing
this referring to your bug there.

Actually, I think, that ncolors makes sense, but Color& makes none.

I would guess, that the method signature of free_colors should be analog to
alloc_colors and therefore read like this:

void Gdk::Colormap::free_colors(ArrayHandle_Color& colors, int ncolors);

This would also correspond to the semantics of the GDK functions gdk_colormap_alloc_colors
and gdk_colormap_free_colors.

Best regards,
