    afaict, X reads rgb.txt at startup, period. after that, the X server
    has in memory a database of names-pixel pairs, that's _fixed_ with
    regard to changes to rgb.txt (until you restart X)

    what i'd like to do is different: i want to _modify_ the named colors
    database of a _running_ X

    thank you for your reply,
