Thanks Harald. (By the way, the https://bugs.freedesktop.org site is
missing a formal security certificate.)
If rgb.txt is deprecated, and Apple has chosen to build the X server
with ignoring of /usr/X11/share/X11/rgb.txt, then how does one add new
color names to the X server for general use by X clients under Leopard?
Surely, arrangements must have been made to be able to add custom color
names for use under X11 under Leopard. The default set of color names
is nice, but it will always be incomplete for some users.

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.
That is not expected to work. Explanation here:
