XMX expects to have access to the entire default root colormap of each slave machine. It performs an AllocColorCells request for the whole colormap. XMX is unable to keep colors in synch on any display for which this request fails. The AllocColorCells request typically fails because some other X client has allocated one or more colors before XMX tries to. See Question 3.
