Oops, is it not permitted for the window manager to separate keyboard
focus from colormap focus?

> The colormap should be installed immediately,

Now wait a minute, I thought you said the colormap was installed when
the program has keyboard focus.  Or is the window manager required to
immediately reassign keyboard focus whenever a window with a private
colormap is created?  Run that by me again?  I thought PointerRoot
focus was a permitted keyboard focus policy!  (Oops, sorry, I get it
now: the window manager warps the mouse to the new window!  Yes, that
must be it.)
