I've got this program which works fine on monochrome screens, but
when I try running it on a PseudoColor screen I get BadMatch errors
from innocuous calls like XDrawPoint and XFillRectangle.  So I was
just wondering if anyone has any tricks for finding out what the
server thinks doesn't match.  I suppose I could run the server in
a debugger, but that's a hassle.

More details: I'm drawing to an off-screen Pixmap created with
XCreatePixmapFromBitmapData( display, root, data, width, height, 1L, 0L, 1 ).
The GC's I use have foreground and background set to 1L and 0L, and
planemask set to 1L.
