I'm working with the O'Reilly example of overlay planes (Vol.1 p.190)
and I'm running into an unexpected problem.  When I try to
XStoreColors I get the following error:

X Error of failed request:  BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
  Major opcode of failed request:  89 (X_StoreColors)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  0
  Resource id in failed request:  0x180
  Serial number of failed request:  17
  Current serial number in output stream:  17

in the following call :

    /* this sets the color of the read/write cell */
    XStoreColors (display, cmap, exact_defs, ncolors);

Which is performed after opening the display and before creating the
window.

I looked for an explanation of when this would occur but I haven't
found it yet.  I'm working on a Sun 4/330, SunOS 4.0.3, and X11R4.
Anyone know why ? Thanks, Paul.
