I'm not completely sure what you're asking here, but I'm pretty sure I 
don't know the answer ;-) If you want to know how xfce translates palet 
colors to x resources, you will have to look at the source (somewhere in 
the xfce/ subdir, the function is called apply_to_all(), I think).

Yes, that's true and this also depends on whether you compiled with 
old-style or not. Olivier once explained it to someone I think. Maybe you 
can find it in the archives on moongroup.com. Maybe it was on the xfce-dev 
list.
