  Dennis O'Neill sent me a copy of a recently posted patch to
TWM's menu.c which fixed a problem with colormap handling, but it
didn't seem to make any difference as far as XImage or xlock are
concerned. After installing the patched TWM I restarted X and
immediately tried running XImage (without touching any menus, etc..),
but no-go. If it's any help, when I run XImage, I get messages like:

  twm:  client illegally changed colormap (i = -1, j = -1
  twm:  client illegally changed colormap (i = -1, j = 0
  twm:  client illegally changed colormap (i = -1, j = 0
  twm:  client illegally changed colormap (i = -1, j = 0

I get a similar message when I run xlock. So are xlock and XImage
broken, or is it TWM. If it's not TWM, then why does this work OK
with GWM.
