Yes,
when you start IDL do:
device, pseudo = 8
window, col = the_number_of_colors_you_want
You can specify "col=..." only once time per IDL session.
Then, IDL will decide to use the shared colormap or a private
colormap. It depends on the number of free entries in the shared
map.
Now, on DEC-MOTIF 1.2-3 and SunOS 5.3, the private colormap seems
to be not correctly handle by IDL (see "Re: Problem with X
display" in this newsgroup)
