Add this to your .Xdefaults file (or .Xdefaults.opn or whatever you call it):

Idl*colors: -5

This tells IDL when it starts up that it should not hog all of the colortable
(which is what it does by default), but leave 5 colors free. That way, when
you try and create a widget, there are still colors left in the colortable.

Please note that this change doesn't take effect until you logout and
log back on again :)

Don't hold anyone responsible for what I say. I'm on my coffee break.
