[comp.windows.x] XView warning: icon_obj:color name not in database

rhoward@msd.gatech.edu (Robert L. Howard) (12/28/90)

Many apologies for this message as I believe it has been discussed 
before but here goes anyway....

Everytime I start up an XView app I get the following error messages:

XView warning: icon_obj:color name  not in database (Icon package)
XView warning: GetWorkSpacePixel: color name  not in database (Icon package)

etc.

This happens under both Xnews (OW2) and MIT X servers.  I am using a
combination of OW2 and MIT X libraries.  This is a Sun SS1 with SunOS
4.1.1.

How do I rid myself of these messages?

Many Thanks,
Robert

The second warning message suggests to me that the OpenWindows.WorkspaceColor
resource has a bad value.  The value of OpenWindows.WorkspaceColor should
be a normal X11 colour specification, either a name from the colours
database (normally /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt or $OPENWINHOME/lib/X11/rgb.txt)
or a #rrggbb hexadecimal specification.
