Well I found a workaround while playing w/ the blue looking X session...
If I start an app that needs to allocate it's own colormap (xgalaga for
example), when the app exits all the colors look right.

I don't know what that means. But I figure that someone can use that bit
of info to figure out a proper solution to this bug. In the mean time I
guess I'll be playing a lot more xgalaga... which is exactly what I
didn't need.
