    Back on X10R4 I could change the bg/fg color map with "xset p [0|1]
    color". This doesn't work on X11R2 at least on a Sun cgfour. Am I doing
    something wrong, or is this expected?


First, BlackPixel/WhitePixel aren't guaranteed to be 0/1 (or 1/0) on
any particular X11 server.  Second, a server is not required to make
these default colormap entries writable.
