There is some code for handling this problem I guess. The question is
why
it is commented out :) Appearantly it didn't work very well...
Does someone know if I can request which colors are in use by an
application?
That would make debugging it a bit easier.

This resource handling problem is a common one btw. We have the same
with 
fonts I guess. We should handle this more or less the same as we do with
images: Register when we want to use something, and deregister when we
don't
need it any more. When the registration count reaches zero, the resource
can
be freed.

For colors: We would need to register which page, uses which colors. And
keep track of which color is used how often. These are all khtml issues.

Cheers,
Waldo
