Hello Patrick,

I have this error then I try to use root simultaneously with some
GUI-applications
like netscape, acroread, wincenter... Last version of ROOT in this case give
me
such warnings:

Warning in <TGClient::GetColorByName>: couldn't retrieve color LightYellow.
Please close any other application, like netscape, that might exhaust
the colormap and start ROOT again
Error in <TGClient::GetShadow>: couldn't allocate shadow color
  *******************************************
  *                                         *
  *        W E L C O M E  to  R O O T       *
  *                                         *
  *   Version   3.03/03      5 April 2002   *

Also in this case ROOT picture showed during loading is unpainted.

Im my case working in this mode root crashes after any several calls of
drawing routines, leaving exactly the message, you pointed. I would even
report
this problem, but then I discovered, that if I close GUI-applications and
restart
ROOT, everything works fine.

I'm surprised little bit, that problems with colormap leads to such a strong
crash
(after this error not only ROOT session, but also the terminal are dead).
Maybe our
ROOT experts find a moment to answer us. :)

Best wishes,
Yuriy.
