X color maps

I'm using an NXP100 -- an Ivory-based symbolics that communicates
with the world via X (it has no terminal of its own).

Problem: When I knock down all sceens on a particular X server
then repop one, the color map is often screwed up.  I usually
use the :reuse nil (with start x screen) and :kill t (with halt
x screen).  I think that my machine thinks the x server still
knows the color map.  BTW when I say color map, my fantasy is
that the symbolics has an association between a rgb spec and
an integer (0...255) that specifies color to the SUN x server
for that screen.

Question: Is there a way to tell a symbolics screen to kill its
cached color map and start with a new one?  If so, how?  If
not, any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help.
