Bug#364689: Warning: Color name "white" is not defined

[James Aspnes <aspnes@cs.yale.edu>]

OK, I've found the problem.  The old xorg.conf file had an RgbPath
line (and quite a few other entries) that pointed to
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt, which no longer exists.  Commenting out
the line and accepting the default fixes the problem.

I have no idea which package this problem should be filed against,
since it's not really xserver-xorg's fault that the config file
contains obsolete pathnames.
