You were perfectly clear in your previous mail. This is why I have down-graded XFree86 version from 4.2.0 to 4.1.0 on my all Linux installations. Now , Cadence works OK unless I invoke other color-hungry application before, which is perfectly normal. My reason for asking on tool to check how many colors were taken from default colormap is that I want to find out which part of KDE takes most of the colors.
