Well, not exactly. XForms tries to figure out the "best" Visual class
and use that when it starts up.

Are you converting the FL_COLOR to a pixel value using fl_get_pixel()?

Remember that the XForms color map is *not* the same as the X
Colormap and, of course, the colormap's entries will not necessarily
be the same from machine to machine.
