*FEATURE ALERT*FEATURE ALERT*

This is the correct behaviour. What a lot of people don't realize about
Palette is that it opens on the *FRONT* screen no matter what that one
is. So if you don't like the colors of the 1.3 MicroEMACS, no problem.
Start uemacs, drag the screen down so that you can see the palette icon
behind it and start palette (or use C-X ! Run Palette). Palette will 
run on the EMACs screen! Now you can change the colors to your hearts
content. This works for anything that doesn't muck alot with the
color registers. 

So the answer to your question is, FreeMap creates it's own screen down
at the bottom of the display and it is in "front." Pallete trys to open
it's window on it and finds that the screen is too small to support the
size window it would like to open and exits.
