6.20 How can I get VUE to share colormap entries:

VUE, by default, allocates several read/write colorcells in the default
colormap so that it can change the VUE colors by just changing the colormap
instead of re-writing all the pixels.  Read/write colorcells are not
sharable, and if you have the maximum number of colors selected in your
VUE palette, quite a few are going to get soaked up and not be available
for other color hogs like xv.

If you can live with having to restart VUE whenever you change your palette,
then set the following resource:

*dynamicColor:                  False

This will cause VUE to allocate read-only cells, which other apps can share.
