Bug 108962

Description of problem:
I have several custom X/Motif display applications which were 
developed and have been working perfectly under Solaris, IRIX, HP-UX 
and the Redhat Motif Window Manager. However under Redhats KDE the 
colormap reverts from a private colormap to system default colormap 
when accessing any of the applications Menubars.

The system is a new Dell 3.0Ghz Pentium with the highest power Quadra 
Nvidia board one can buy. I have loaded the latest Nvidia driver and 
relevent Redhat patches.

I have read Ids 65310, 65740 and 91217 and avoid the color allocation 
problem by allocating and installing an application specific 
colormap.  This is valid and well documented in the X/Motif manuals, 
and this works well under the above OSs / WMs except KDE. The system 
is set up for 8 bit Pseudo color since the applications required 
plane separation which 24bit TrueColor does not support. I have tried 
Nvidias 8 bit overlay with 24 bit normal configuration but the driver 
still seems not to support it and some documentation suggests the 
overlay will only be on the first monitor of a multi monitor system 
(NG). I have also tried both SLS (Single Logical Screen) and Dual 
Monitor configurations.

I have made numerous modifications to application to explicitly 
install the colormap into every menubar and its children. I have also 
explicitly advised the Window Manager as to the new colormap, still 
with no luck.

Since the application works fine under Redhats Mwm, the Motif Window 
Manager, I have to to suspect KDE.

Do you have any ideas which might fixed this?
