	Is there going to be any support for this in R4 ? Right now, I
	am writing an imaging application where I need to repeatedly
	load color maps, depending upon how I wish to view my image. 
	Right now, I have use Xlib functions like XInstallColormap and
	XSetWindowColormap to over-ride the window manager. I have been
	successful on the DEC window manager (thanks to the hints by
	Chris Peterson and his colleague), but the ardent window
	manager simply refuses to install the user color map.

	Support for Color manipulation at the widget level would make 
	things lot easier for application programmers.
