The second warning message suggests to me that the OpenWindows.WorkspaceColor
resource has a bad value.  The value of OpenWindows.WorkspaceColor should
be a normal X11 colour specification, either a name from the colours
database (normally /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt or $OPENWINHOME/lib/X11/rgb.txt)
or a #rrggbb hexadecimal specification.
