I moved, rather than copied, /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt earlier this week to
solve some problems.  But X has been a moving target and not copying the
file bit me.

I reinstalled xorg-x11-server-utils and removed the reference to RgbPath
from my xorg.conf.  Emacs works again and xmms's buttons now have the
correct colors.
