"ColormapFull. Using substitutions" means that you have run out of available
colors from your xserver. Probably, you are using a server having 256 colors...
(you can check that by giving "xwininfo", clicking on the root window and
look for depth. It should be 8...) Probably the reason is the pixmaps that
you added in your pixmaps buttons. Be carefull, xforms predifined colors
(arround 30...) + number of colors allocated with fl_mapcolor + number of
different colors in all pixmaps < 256. If this sum is more than 256, then
you will always have problems, even with private colormap.
(I hope it helps :) )...
gpp.
