    Stefan,
    I had Magic 7.2.29 (X11 only) working with fink tcltk and Apple's X11 
    beta 2 . Immediately after upgrading to Apple's X11 beta 3, I started 
    to have colormapping problems. I get this in the  console:
    
    Warning:   Cannot match colormap of wrapper to layout.
    
    This is what apple has to say about changes between beta 2 and beta 3 
    at http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1232.html
    
    Added Pseudocolor (8-bit) visual plane support so applications 
    requiring 8 bit support should find the visuals by default. You can 
    also add "-depth 8" (see Xquartz man page) when starting the X Server 
    if you want to run it only in 8 bit mode, which is unrecommended as 
    OpenGL support is not available in 8 bit mode.
    
    So I think this is where the problem appeared. Hope someone can figure 
    how to deal with it.
    
    John
