--- Comment #3 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote@utsa.edu> ---
Sure, but isn't the issue that we are allowing the color swatches of a pallet
to resize? I assume they are being calculated as percentage of the available
width within the containing UI frame.  tango.soc are rectangular, standard.soc
are square.

As the color picker is non user resizable, couldn't the color swatches be set
fixed width?

With fixed swatch sizes we could leave the vertical scroll present but dimmed
inactive for smaller pallets. 

Or if having an inactive scroll bar visible is of concern--with fixed size
swatches, an alternative might be to expand the frame to show the scroll bar
when needed (at width of the respective DE widget)--frame would resize, not the
color swatches. 

Selecting a large pallet with more swatches than fit would resize the frame,
those with less would shrink it.  Scrollbar retained on right, layout would
have to be pinned to left edge and expand right. When torn away from menubar,
pin position top left and again expand frame right for pallets needing
scrollbar to limit visual shift of the pallet swatches.

Another aspect of this is the Recent color swatches, they do not resize now
since the pallet scrollbar when present above does not extend into that part of
the frame. Unfortunately, in a visual glitch we now don't seem to provide quite
enough vertical height as padding in the widget so the swatches are crowded.
