It has been like this for quite some time after a fix about a year ago where the gplt_x11 palette was changing when more than one x11 window appeared on the screen.

The fix resulted in "allocating colors..." to appear on the x11 title bar (not stdout).

Try

and then use the mouse to rotate the image.  The sluggish behavior is fixed by the patch...  but hold on a bit, I have to fix the bug that Juergen found.
