- I remember seeing this bug come by on this group a few months ago. As I
- recall, it was a bug in the Sun server which affected Motif based
- programs run on HPs. There was a server fix available. There was also
- a workaround of setting the resource "*colorUse: False".

- Any of those details might be wrong. I'm just parroting what I read, so
- the memory isn't particularly vivid.
