Bug Description

Presumably, tightvnc didn't make up the need for rgb.txt or Xcms.txt, but I presume from what I read, that this is part of the X windows system that isn't properly supplied by Intrepid. You can read about X11 color maps here:

You can also read about how to use rgb.txt to generate Xcms.txt here:

I am running Xvnc on one machine, and vncviewer on another machine.
These lacks show up very quickly when I try to start up anything from the ImageMagick suite when displaying it over Xvnc.
For example, pick an image to display, and start up "display" on it. Display will complain about not being able to find the color black and terminate.

If you put these files in place, then ImageMagick is happy and works quite nicely. Now, maybe I'm just doing something wrong, but if I put these files into place, then everything works wonderfully.
