Is it true that a StoreColors request on a GrayScale colormap must always send
values for each of red, green, blue (i.e.  the same value, three times)?  This
seems to be the implication of the protocol spec.  However, it seems
unnecessarily inefficient.  Since the server is the only place where it is known
which primary drives actual intensity, it could just as easily interpret a
StoreColors request with only one value.
