[comp.windows.x] Colormap visuals

A colormap is associated with a visual when it is created. But you cannot find
out later from the server what this visual is. Or am I missing something?

Yup, a misfeature of the protocol.  You have to know a window that the
colormap is associated with, and do a GetWindowAttributes on it.
