Nope.  I got them from you dude.  Just recently too, the last time I
was talking to you about it.

Looks like we need changes to the code to accomodate this.  I'd vote
for allowing a 32-bit value, but masking off all high-order bits so
that it matches the current X11 server colordepth.  That might then
work on all systems, right?  Any color experts out there that can
tell me if I have to bit-twiddle as well to make this work?
