For what it's worth, I believe you're right.  My understanding is that
that message indicates that twm detected a client calling
XInstallColormap, which the ICCCM says is an action reserved to window
managers.  I have no idea what i and j represent, nor can I offer any
further suggestions about xlock, since I never have anything to do with
it myself.
