3221.0. "Gradually loosing colours!" by MOVIES::HOWELL_MA (another fine product of the Sirius Cybernetics Corp.) Fri Aug 17 1990 07:58

    Over a period of time I loose available colours on my workstation. It
    finally gets to the point where I have to restart DECwindows to get
    the colours back. Is there any way I can find the offending window and
    process that has the colours allocated? Or is there a way to forceably
    deallocate the colours without restarting DECwindows?

I don't know of a way, short of shooting one client at a time to see if the
colors come back.

Actually, I guess you could also run XShowMap and see if the colors there match
anything on your screen.  You might be able to infer that the application whose
colors matched was the (one) owner of that color.

    Thanks Burns,
    
    I'll give that a try. Where can I get XShowMap from?
