> X toolkit error:  Can not allocate colormap for "Black"

If the message was really "... allocate colormap entry for ..." then
the failing call is an XAllocNamedColor.  Check to make sure your
rgb database (usually /usr/lib/X11/rgb.{dir,pag}) is still installed
& is not corrupted.  You might try re-doing a 'make install' from the
X11R3/rgb directory.
