I tried reproducing this.  I erased my GNUstep installation and installed
everything from a fresh CVS pull.  I was still unable to reproduce this.  I
also wiped Gorm's defaults using:

defaults delete Gorm

and was still unable to see it.

I'm not sure what's going on here, but I cannot reproduce it.  According to my
dicussion with Stiivi it doesn't interfere with the app's operation, which
means it's non-critical, but I'd like to find out what it is.  Also, it seems
that the most likely place for this to occur is during palette loading.   But
the palette bundles are loaded using absolute paths (to my recollection) so
this shouldn't be the issue either. :/

I'm still looking into it.
