making rgb.txt changes available to X clients in Leopard

Subject: making rgb.txt changes available to X clients in Leopard
From: Bill McKie <email@hidden>

MacOS-X 10.5.6
Standard Apple X11 (Xquartz 2.1.5)
All latest Apple updates installed

After adding some custom rgb color name definitions to the rgb color database text file

/usr/X11/share/X11/rgb.txt

and restarting X11.app, the new color names do not appear to be available for use by X clients.

E.g. if the following line is appended to /usr/X11/share/X11/rgb.txt

0 50 0    Vdarkgreen

and X11.app is then shut down and restarted, and this new color is then attempted to be used in a xterm:

 xterm -bg Vdarkgreen -fg white

the response is:

Warning: Color name "Vdarkgreen" is not defined

and the xterm launches with a black background color instead of the intended Vdarkgreen background.

Is a special command needed to be run after modifying /usr/X11/share/X11/rgb.txt so that the changes will take effect?

Thanks
