Can someone please try testing whether the privateColormap X resource
works in Emacs?  Here is a suggestion for how to test that;
I would not know how to fill in the details and really do it,
but maybe some of you know.

I don't think I can do much better.  I think it would be clear to
people using 8-bit displays.
