dxwm...

[System Janitor]

Does dxwm load any of the shared standard color maps?

Admittedly (and probably obviously) I am a novice at this X stuff, 
but it doesn't seem like what I am trying to do should be difficult.

No matter what I have tried, everytime I say anything like:

  stat = XGetStandardColormap(display,
                              RootWindow(display,DefaultScreen(display)),
                              &scm,
                              XA_RGB_GRAY_MAP);

... stat ends up equal to zero - failure.

Is there something obvious (to a real X programmer) that I might be missing?
Any clues?
