I've now tested the colormap swapping problem code on SGIs running 6.2
and 5.3 and Suns running 4.1.3 and 4.1.4 with XForms 0.81. It runs
fine on the SGI (colormap swaps as expected) but not on the Suns. The
Suns are running X11R5 -- the SGIs are running X11R6.

My guess at this point is that it's a server problem of some sort
since it fails in the same way under tvtwm, twm, and fvwm for me (I
believe someone else had tried it under mwm and/or 4Dwm with the same
results).

Very strange.
