We are using X11R4 to write some application software.  Two problems have arisen
that I need pointers to solutions.

(1) When server and client are resident on the same machine, is there a 
reasonable way to NOT pass messages over the net, but directly (e.g. memory-
-to-memory ??) to enhance performance ?  

(2) We are using 256 colors in specific windows. In several window managers
that we have tried, when the cursor leaves the color window, the window goes
black.  We assume this is due to color table swapping. Is there a wm that
provides a mechanism for avoiding this ?

Apologies if these are 'obvious' or overly 'common' questions. I'm not
a frequenter of the X world.

Please respond to:

If there is wider interest, then let's chat it up on the net.

Many thenks, jlp
