I have a number of questions concerning color under X that I was hoping someone
might be able to help me out on:
	1) How can I determine the precision of the RGB values?  That is,
	   how many high bits are actually valid?
	2) How can I figure out if a pixel is read only or read/write (besides
	   trying to re-write it)
	3) How can I get statistics about the cells in the current colormap?
	   For example, how many are read/only, how many are allocated
	   read/write for another client, how many my client has allocate	    read/write?

Thanks muchly.
