Yes... erm... please don't breathe too hard when you look at miext/ 
rootless.  The condensation in your breath might cause it to all  
collapse...

The RootlessColormapCallback bit is actually "correct" the way it  
was.  Success == 0, and the failure != 0... so your patch actually  
inverts the returned value (something that caused me a few weeks of  
pain to debug) ... and yes, not patch in a particularly elegant way...
