1st - You're dealing with two pieces of software which both use private
color maps. X-windows switches out those colormaps everytime you
move from one window to another (at least this is what I presume
is happening on your display).
2nd - My original thoughts on this were not to address the problems of
two separate programs (they're apples and oranges) but rather to
invite the merging of the two into a GRASS interface. Hence one
private colormap with one piece of software with all those nice
little doo-dads that I'm sure impressed you with XV.
