  ... as far as Motif 1.0.3, there is a bug in mwm; it tries but does NOT
  deal with WM_COLORMAP_WINDOWS property correctly. It only installs the
  proper colormap IF the colormap is set for the SHELL. 
  Except for the shell, any windows listed in WM_COLORAMP_WINDOWS property
  are simply ignored. 
  Actually, there have been very few window managers capable of dealing
  with different colormaps for subwindows, but it's getting better
  every day.
