The one problem would be if gnuplot_x11 crashes and gnuplot starts up 
another version of it.  If gnuplot doesn't send a palette, out of luck. 
 However, I've not seen gnuplot_x11 crash unexpectedly in a long time. 
 I guess I'm fine with palette being sent all the time.  Just a bit of 
extra testing.
