+<title>Overview</title>
+<para>
+This extension has three purposes: a) to provide mechanism for a special
+application (a colormap manager) to discover any special colormap
+requirements, e.g. the colormap entries that are nominally reserved for
+desktop colors in the MS-Windows environment and initialize the default
+colormap so that it can be more easily shared; and b) to encourage colormap
+sharing and reduce colormap flashing on low-end 8-bit frame buffers by
+providing a policy for sharing; and c) when colormaps aren't shared,
+define a behavior in the X server color allocation scheme to reduce
+colormap flashing.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+To encourage colormap sharing and accomodate special colormap requirements
+two new protocols are defined: the first provides a way to query the
+server for a list of reserved colormap entries, and the second is a way
+to initialize read-only (shareable) colormap entries at specific locations
+in a colormap.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+To minimize colormap flashing when the root window's default visual is one
+of GrayScale, PseudoColor, or DirectColor, and a private colormap for the
+default visual is being used, a minor (but compatible) change to the
+server implementation of the AllocColor and AllocNamedColor requests is
+required. Where the core protocol says nothing about the pixel values
+returned, when this extension is in effect, the AllocColor and AllocNamedColor
+requests will first look for a matching color in the default colormap, and,
+if a match is found and the same cell in the private colormap has not
+already been allocated, the color will be allocated in the private colormap
+at the same locaton as in the default colormap (instead of in the first
+available location.)

+If supplied, the client_major_version and client_minor_version indicate
+what version of the protocol the client wants the server to implement.
+The server version numbers returned indicate the protocol this extension
+actually supports. This might not equal the version sent by the client.
+An implementation can (but need not) support more than one version
+simultaneously. The server_major_version and the server_minor_version
+are a mechanism to support future revisions of the TOG-CUP protocol that
+may be necessary. In general, the major version would increment for
+incompatible changes, and the minor version would increment for small
+upward-compatible changes. Servers that support the protocol defined in
+this document will return a server_major_version of one (1), and a
+server_minor_version of zero (0).

+This request returns a list of colormap entries (pixels) that are reserved
+by the system, e.g. MS-Windows reserved desktop colors. This list will, at a
+minimum, contain entries for the BlackPixel and WhitePixel of the specified
+screen. The do-red, do-green, and do-blue elements of the COLORITEMs are
+unused in this reply.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Rationale: There are colormap entries (pixels) that, e.g., MS-Windows
+desktop reserves as desktop colors, that should not be altered. If they
+are altered then X programs will cause colormap flashing between X and
+MS-Windows applications running/displaying on the same desktop.

+XCupQueryVersions sets major_version_return and minor_version_return to
