I've been doing some work with colormaps in XLIB.

Is there a way to find out the the number of cells that are unused
in the default colormap?

I believe the XGetVisualInfo and XDisplayCells
will tell you how many there were originally. But I thought the point
of using the default map was to allow sharing between clients. I assume
that means that more than one program could use the same map so that 
keeping track of the number of colors that your program used so far wouldn't
be sufficient information.

Any ideas on this would be helpful.

Thanks.
