          Appeal No. 1998-2699                                                        
          Application 08/387,504                                                      


          the various X server participants differ in their support of                





          visual classes.  An application requests the allocation and                 
          initialization of non-shareable colorcells and is displayed in              
          a conference such that the colors for each X server                         
          participant are as close to that requested by the application               
          as the hardware supports.  The conference enabler distributes               
          all of the non-sharable request to each participant in the                  
          conference that supports the request.  For those participants               
          that do not support the request, a no-color request is sent in              
          place of the allocation request, and an allocate color or                   
          allocate name color order is sent in place of the                           
          initialization request.  A further understanding of the                     
          invention can be obtained by the following claim.                           
               1.   A method for an X windows conferencing enabler to                 
          support applications that use non-shareable colorcells while                
          running in a conference in which a plurality of X server                    
          participants differ in their support of visual classes                      
          comprises the steps of:                                                     
                    allocating non-shareable colorcells for a requesting              
                         application;                                                 

                                         -2-
