Are you using the gl.c supplied with XForms? There are some
strangenesses in it that, as I recall.

You'll have to use Brute Force[tm]. I'm not in my lab so I don't have
access to the manuals right now but you should be able to use the
color handling primitives.
Regarding using the default Colormap, it might not be as bad as you
think. XForms doesn't reserve that many colors and most of them are
pretty common, so, if you're aggressive about optimization, you can
use almost the entire map.
When I get back on Monday, I can share some code which might be useful
in doing colormap management.
