Hi!
Here's my question: According to the ICCCM, the toplevel window of
an application should set it's colormap, but not *install* it, since
the windowmanager will do that. However, if there's no window manager
running, will the colormap still get installed by, say, the server?
If not, what's the simplest way to be able to handle the no windowmanager
case, and yet be ICCCM-compatible?

Thanks
