  We needed to do the same thing in our server---in fact we needed to
  construct several static colormaps with device dependent color values---
  and the method we use (as your mail discussed) is as follows:

	mid = FakeClientID(0);
	CreateColormap(mid,pScr,pVisTrue24,&pCmap,AllocAll,0); *
	StoreColors(pCmap,256,defs)

  * The last argument to CreateColormap is the client index, we use 0 to
    indicate that the server is the creator.

  So far as we know this works properly in our environments: VAX/ULTRIX and
  VAX/VMS.  You may be having some sort of portability problem in 
  dix/colormap.c.
