	I basically have three main widgets: toplevel, widget1, and widget2.

I create toplevel with XtCreateApplicationShell and widget1 and widget2 with
XtCreatePopupShell using toplevel as the parent and transientShellWidgetClass
for the shelltype.

I then realize my toplevel widget and create my own colormap installing it
onto toplevel using XSetWindowColormap...However when I run my program the
two transientShellWidgets don't get that colormap (they get the default one).
I have tried using XSetWindowColormap on them too, but I get an X error about
them not being a valid window id (Yes, I am using XtWindow(widget1) for that
arg...).  And have tried using the XmNcolormap resource but that doesn't work
either -- if I do it before I realize the toplevel I get an error, if I do
it after I get no change -- but no error...

Any help would be appreciated.

John
