Just wondering: palette() settings and existing quartz windows

Hi,
I noticed  something tricky about setting a palette.  If I set up a 
palette, e.g.

 >  palette(rainbow(10))

then plot something, and then revert my working environment,

 >palette(default)

The quartz window does not change, nor does it change if I drag it 
around the desktop.  But if I resize the window, the graph will redraw 
using the current palette, not the one used to create it.


Would it make more sense for the window management tools to 'remember' 
the palette used to draw the window?

Or would it make more sense for me to learn proper use of environments :-) ?
