Does anyone know the correct way to set the colormap for an Icon ?

I have experimented and found that I need to give the colormap name
to the server image of the icon, and that passing a cms to the icon
itself doesn't work. This seems a little klutzy.

(My application is to display large color images with their own, or a
dithered palette, and to use a small image as the icon when the frame
is closed).
