I'm having the same problem with xmag in Ubuntu.
In fact this is not limited to xmag. Xfig (1:3.2.7b-2 in Ubuntu)
suffers from a similar issue: when adding a new color by using
"Lookup and Add", xfig may crash with an X_QueryColors badValue trap.
The problem seems to be related to the type of window you're trying
to query a pixel color of:
- In "classic" X11 apps (xmag, fig2dev, even the icons in the
GNOME taskbar), xmag and fig2dev can query colors fine,
- In "modern" composed/anti-aliased apps (gnome-terminal, chromium),
X_QueryColors fails.
I do not know if this is a bug in these applications, or in some
other layer (X libs, X server, compositor, ...).
Thanks!
