covoxer use for example Inkscape [1], support the Libre Graphics Meeting [2] or go to this event [3]. Inkscape is open source.

Why should I? Am I interested in Inkscape?
LX is open source. At least, all the code you need to add support for any palettes as discussed in this thread is as open as in Inkscape.
Another problem is that there's not much developers willing to do this. But that's the whole idea of open source: if you need the feature and it's missing - develop it! And there will be one missing feature less for you and all other users. Complaining about missing features is reasonable only with commercial software since you pay for it and you can't modify it. But complaining on open source is complaining on yourself.

Only because there are numerous linux programers working on Inkscape, and none willing to work on XaraLX. That's whats really the saddest part.
I, myself have been very slowly working on learning some programing but, unfortunately I am not very handy at learning from text. But, once I do finally feel I have enough under my belt, and understand... I definitely plan on trying to work on adding this same type of functionality to XaraLX
But this is probably a long way off if depending solely on me
