[comp.windows.news] Colormap installation by X server - XView

kneller@dufy.mmwb.ucsf.edu (Don Kneller) (07/03/90)

I have an application with both NeWS (for display) and X (for dialog)
windows.  I install a color map when the pointer enters the NeWS windows.
However, *the server* installs a color map when the pointer enters the
X windows. This leads to unnecessary flashing of the display.

Question: Can I prevent the server from automatically installing a color map?

Note: It appears that the server decides to switch the color map only for
FRAMES that contain a PANEL, but I don't know why this is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
