/usr/local/etc/im_palettelpal (or make one for yourself)

edit so it uses less colors. - thats the colro list for E to use. it is
alos the colro list for gnome to use so if you use E it uses the same
colros gnome will so you do not infact save colors by using olvwm -
infact you will use even more colors. E limits its entire color use to
thsai colro set - because imlib restricts its use to thsi color set.
since gnome uses imlib gnome will use all these colors to render icons
with - thus gnome will use all these colros for icons, thus if you use
E you do not infact use any more colors, if you use olvwm it will
allocate its own color set irrespective of gnome and imlib. :) oyu can
make gnome+imlib+e use any set of colors by editing that file (or using
imlib_config to edit it).
