Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-applets

The main motivation for which a user would like to add its own palette is to 
add characters to which he doesn't have access with the standard palettes or 
the keyboard.
But the dialog that allow to add a custom palette provides only a text field. 
The user can pick the characters from the existing palette using the applet, 
but this is insufficient in the case where the missing character is not in the 
existing palettes.

Here are a few ways of improving the usability of this dialog:
- add a button to launch the "gucharmap" (easy fix)
- add a character selection widget (integrated gucharmap, hard fix?)
