Great, thanks!  This package even has a binary (showrgb); I never knew
this.  I have only a couple of nit-pickings that can be ignored.

It's your choice of course, but I would put version and ".tar.bz2" on a
single line; I find it more good-looking in such cases.

These inputs are indented too much.  I guess you made this package
definition by copying 'xwud' (the previous one in "xorg.scm" file) and
modifying it.  Make sure to reindent this xorg-rgb package sexp.
Otherwise looks good to me, thanks!
