You point a client (say, another copy of awm) at the color side by specifying 0:1 in DISPLAY or -display. Then, you switch between the monochrome and color worlds in video update time just by sliding the mouse cursor off the sides of the screen. Now you know why we've got a subnetful of clients named after Wizard of Oz characters :-)
