I see no catastrophe > either way, to be quite honest. Why "non-working"? AFAIU, Emacs on X uses the colors known to the X server, and doesn't consult that file. That file is only consulted on non-X platforms, such as MS-Windows. So using it would mean that Emacs on MS-Windows will support colors that Emacs on X might not support (if the X server doesn't). Do we really want that?
