	1) Did I miss the "right" way of doing this?  (ie: should
		my widget really be calling XInstallColormap?)

You should not be installing your own colormap.  The draft standard of the
ICCCM tells you what to do.  Unfortunately, the public window managers you
are likely to get your hands on probably don't implement this aspect of the
ICCCM (the R3 window managers certainly don't).  Someone will have to do the
work.  (We expect to have at least one ICCCM compliant window manager in R4.)
