Given that you don't mention what X binding you are using, this is very
difficult to guess.  I'll venture two suggestions from my experience with
Win32 bindings.

1)  If the binding is yours, you may need to add something like
pragma Convention(Stdcall,XStoreColor);

2)  You may have forgotten to call some important initialization routine
(I had similar behavior under Win32 when I forgot InitCommonControls)
