I have a nifty color double buffering algorithm that I got
from Sun's XView programming class last year.  This runs great
under OpenWindows 1.0.1, but doesn't work under 2.0.

The problem seems to be that under OW 1.0.1, the colors for the window
manager were at the high end of the default colormap, and under
OW 2.0 with Pseudo-Color, they're loaded at bits 0-6 of the default
colormap.

I've tried running OW 2.0 with the StaticColor Visual, but it still
won't let me load application colors from bit 0 of the colormap.

Anybody know a work-around, or have some code they'd like to mail me :-) ?
