Greetings!

I just upgraded xfree86 from 3.3.6 to 4.2.0 on an IBM Thinkpad T20
laptop running SuSE 7.1, linux kernel 2.4.16, and fvwm 2.2.4.

Since the upgrade, I'm getting annoying numbers of messages like:

  /usr/bin/X11/xsetroot:  unable to allocate color for "#c57bfb"
  Warning: Cannot allocate colormap entry for "navy"
  XWin::allocColor() : failed to alloc : orange
  FvwmPager: can't alloc grey50

I'm wondering if I botched something during the upgrade.  Or whether I
have something missing or incorrect in my XF86Config file (included
below).
