Window managers take care of installing colormaps for application
programs.  Mechanisms for communication between applications and
window managers concerning installation of colormaps have been
outlined in the ICCCM.   Because the ICCCM is very new, most
clients and window managers do not *yet* observe the conventions.

To have an R3 window manager install a colormap for an application,
	XSetWindowColormap(disp, win, cmap);
Where win is the window of your top level shell widget.
