This suggestion won't work because Emacs (rightly so from my point of view) does not automatically switch to a private colormap when it runs out of colors. Instead it uses the closest color available, such that the result is not quite right but is not psychedelic either. But a long time ago Gerd said (while tracking down a color-reference-count-overflow bug in XFree triggered by Emacs): > In the course of cleaning up the color code a bit, I'm now setting the > XtNcolormap resource of the shell widget.
