I just translated the coloredit example in Doug Young's book from HP to Athena
widgets.  My goals were to learn about using scroll bars and the wonderful new
virtual colormap capabilities of X11r3.  Unfortunately, it appears that 
virtual colormaps are uh, virtually useless (sorry, couldn't resist :-) under
the DECwindows window manager.  Whenever I use XInstallColormap(...,my_map)
somebody (and I think its dxwm) goes and reinstalls the default colormap.
 
Is there some way to tell dxwm to leave my map installed, or at least 
reinstall it when my application has focus?
