[comp.windows.x] twm bug?

jimf@saber.COM (04/30/91)

It appears that in at least some versions of X11R4 twm, twm will erroneously
report that a client has illegally changed the colormap.  It looks like this
happens if the WM_COLORMAP_WINDOWS property is given and the root (base)
window colormap was not installed by twm (ie it occurred second or later in
the list on a colormap-limited server and therefore was not installed).

Is this a known problem that is fixed at some patchlevel?  If not I can
generate a program to trigger the error pretty easily.

Please respond via email.
