Do you mean that the colors in the displayed image change
*permanently* -- even when you move the mouse back out of the image
- or just that you get "Technicolor" flashing?
If the problem is the latter, if you have a display that supports only
one Colormap at a time and if you have multiple Windows, each with its
own Colormap, it is inevitable that you're going to have this flashing
phenomenon, since the server loads a new Colormap when the Window
becomes active (indicated by an EnterNotify event).
If possible, the best thing is for all Windows to use a shared
Colormap, using some color approximation or dithering scheme to spread
the error in as imperceptible a manner as possible.
Even better -- if your display supports TrueColor mode, use that.
