I found that if I use twm instead of quartz-wm, the shared colormap

to figure out how to force a shared colormap.
The only problem is, as I encountered before, the image isn't
immediately redrawn automatically, as I've seen in other
implementations of X, but if I wave the cursor over the image, the
part under the cursor is repainted in the correct (new) colors
(since I've changed the colormap). I think this is a bug (in
Xephyr). I'll file a report.
Perhaps this will be moot when 8-bit XQuartz is fixed.
Just wanted to add that I can see (even though when the Preference is
set to 256 colors and the xterm is white-on-white, I can copy the text
out to see what it is) that XQuartz itself has 181 colors free.
