I recompiled the rgb database using 'rgb' from the MIT distribution and
the problem is still there. I looked at rgb.c and saw that all the
colornames from rgb.txt are converted to lowercase before they are
stored in the files rgb.dir and rgb.pag. So it seems that the X server
(i.e. the function XLookupColor()) is case sensitive although clients
assume that it isn't.

Any suggestions ?
