I need some advice.  I've got some color imaging stuff written in SunView
which I am thinking of porting to X.  Can anyone tell me how practical
this is?  I understand that X can do color imaging.  The potential problem
is that Suns tend to "lose" the colormap of a window with its own 256
colors when the cursor is not within the window.  Is this a problem in X
as well, or does X somehow handle this properly?  (I get around this
problem in SunView with a lot of kludges.)
