PseudoColor X - Initial entries in the shared colormap

[Andy Bristow]

Hi

If it makes a difference I am using CentOS 5.3 (32bit) in a vmware VM.

When using X in 8-bit PseudoColor mode, I am trying to find out where
default colors are allocated to the system colormap.

When I start just X - by that I mean just the root window displayed:
without a display manager and without any application windows (not even so
much as an Xterm), then the colormap has already 73 entries in it. Does
anyone know how they get there? I was expecting black and white in there
(there is the cursor to display, after all), but 73?

If I could find out how they get there, then I may be able to reduce the
number ...

Thanks to anyone who can help!
