The XVisualInfo structure has two members that appear to be redundant,
namely depth and colormap_size.  In every case I've seen, which isn't
many, colormap_size == 1<<depth.  I don't see why this wouldn't always
be the case, but I'm not sure.  So the question is:  is this relationship
always the case?  If not, how can this happen?

Thanks in advance,
