If I choose Named Colors, KColorChooser immediately crashes.

I filed bug 152004, https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152004 (my 
first KDE bug -- please school me if I did it wrong).

As I wrote in the bug:

One workaround is to create C:\usr\X11R6\lib\X11 and put a copy of 
rgb.txt (from, e.g., 
http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/X11R7.3/src/app/rgb-1.0.1.tar.bz2) 
in it; then Named Colors works fine.

There's probably a way for KDE on Windows to ship rgb.txt in a standard 
location, e.g. {KDEroot}/share/X11/rgb.txt, and have readNamedColors() 
find it.



I'm amazed there aren't more X11-isms in the code.  Well done!
