OK, sorry.
In the first place it's the program that is responsible.
But what if it doesn't do that ?
MSDN says:
"When you no longer need the palette, call the DeleteObject function to delete
it."
So it says "call the", NOT "you have to call the".
So Windows might indeed do some kind of garbage collecting here.
How to implement that in Wine, if we need that ?
And it seems we need that, as I remember several cases with non-deleted
palettes...
(I think Netscape 3.x was the most obvious candidate for that)
