Stomping this out was one of the differences between X10 and X11.  Poking
around on a few of the servers here I see (and I'm sure there are other
values used on different servers):

	BlackPixel:  0, 1, 253
	WhitePixel:  1, 0, 252

Applications that presume any particular values for BlackPixel() and
WhitePixel() are guaranteed to break.
