- Nothing related to the Indigo's Virtual 24 scheme.
-
- This is related to the multiple 8bit hardware colourmaps. You are
- creating a private colourmap (and filling it in) for your regular
- window.
-
- The "drawing area" window is really a motif widget the is using the
- X server's default colourmap. To prove this to yourself run
- "xwininfo -tree" of your app. You'll see one child window, that's
- your drawing widget. Run "xwininfo -id ####" on the child's window
- id and you'll see that it is using the default colourmap.
-
- I'm no motif expert, so I'll stop here.
