    I don't think this is an XForms problem (though I could be mistaken).
    My guess is that for some reason the app isn't finding the file
    `rgb.txt' which lives in `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11' or something similar --
    it will depend on your X installation.

    _XKeyTable() looks like an internal routine. I suspect that
    something's trying to look up a color by name using XParseColor(),
    XLookupColor() or XStoreNamedColor(), which make queries to the
    server-side database. Perhaps the server is somehow getting confused
    by kdevelop.
