       server-dependent except that the required list must remain installed.

       If the specified colormap becomes uninstalled, the X server generates a event on each window that has that colormap.  In addition, for
       every other colormap that is installed or uninstalled as a result of a call to the X server generates a event on each window that has that
       colormap.

       can generate a error.

       The function returns a list of the currently installed colormaps for the screen of the specified window.  The order of the colormaps in the
