Package: xboard
Version: 4.2.6-2
Severity: important

See subject. While other programs work with more or less sucess using
256 bit color, xboard breaks completely. It only throws some lines about
XPM errors and exits. Note that on the same 8bit terminals under AIX
xboard seem to work okay (don't ask me which version), so I think this
may be a problem with the xpm library on Linux.

I cannot try yet, but IMHO the reason may also be the fact that AIX WM
did not allocate much colors, so there were still enough cells in the
PseudoColor table to install Xboard's colors. On Linux with Icewm, this
was not possible. Though (as said), no application should break because
of unavailable colors. Either do not display the, or emulate them using
dithering with colors from the PseudoColor table, but do not just exit,
even not telling the user the reason for the breakage.

Regards,
Eduard.
