Hello Simon Dimaio
------------------
I have earlier encountered the same problem with xwd, I have been told
that the color-errors is because some X-windows are configured to 8-bit
(bitplanes?), a more correct configuration would be a higher number of
bit's. We also have our X-windows set to 8-bit on our V5.3 of Irix. The
bit-number do not seem to have any effect on the actual number of viewed
on-screen colors, but effects programs like xwd. This adds up to one way
of solving your problem; to reconfigure the number of
X-bitplanes(somehow). I did not do this, and rather used the
"/usr/sbin/scrsave file x0 x1 y0 y1", where you can take a "snapshot" of
the screen after your own specified coordinates. So a solution would be
to figure out where your performer app. window is allocated on the
screen, and then use "scrsave" to snapshot that portion of the screen.
Use the "system(file)" command to execute a shell-command within your
c-program.

Greetings.
