(1) I gather from the clim 2.0beta release notes that I should be
able to create a private palette for an application (rather than 
using the port's default palette), i.e.

 (setf (frame-manager-palette (find-frame-manager)) (make-palette (find-port)))

but I haven't been successful at this; the application seems to be 
allocating colors from the default colormap regardless. am I missing
something here?

(2) scroll-extent is defined as a function with arglist (sheet &key x y); 
will this ultimately be changed to reflect the documentation? [generic
function with arguments (sheet x y)]

(3) drawing at `large' coordinate values on a scrolling sheet elicits
the following warning from the underlying motif toolkit:

  Warning: Xt: 
    Name: 
    Class: XmScrollBar
    The specified scrollbar value is greater than the maximum
    scrollbar value minus the scrollbar slider size.

empirically, this seems to occur when the ratio of the sheet size to
the viewport size exceeds 200.

this is clim 2.0 beta on allegro 4.2 beta
