I thought that the palette loader code that is currently there created a palette before putting it in the UI. However, upon closer inspection, each of the loaders appear to create a palette based on the filename being imported, then the common code in gimp renames the object. Given that the current code isn't importing the palette atomically, I will just do the same thing. I think I see how to make this work. This has been helpful.
