sorry, but for the sake of brevity i did not mention that i
experimented with rgbpath, to no avail, before reporting a bug...
anyhow, i modified as suggested my xorg.conf, please see the following
cut+paste, but as you can see the X server still does not know about a
color name (deepblue) that is in my /etc/X11/rgb.txt
as a side note, i have the same problem both at my office, from where
i'm writing to you, and at home

Section "Files"
RgbPath "/etc/X11/rgb"
# path to defoma fonts
boffi95:~# strace -o X.strace /usr/bin/X > X.out 2> X.err & sleep 10

boffi95:~# xsetroot -display :0 -solid gray85
boffi95:~# xsetroot -display :0 -solid deepblue
xsetroot: unknown color "deepblue"
boffi95:~# grep deepblue$ /etc/X11/rgb.txt
44 44 178 deepblue

after killing X, i have found in Xorg.0.log:
(**) RgbPath set to "/etc/X11/rgb"
to me, it's deep water...
thank you Michel, thank you everybody
