May I suggest that the reason you're finding this a little tricky is 'cause it goes against principles documented by the OpenDoc HI guidelines? From my reading of them, I'm not so sure that you should make a palette persistent across multiple part activations; I don't believe that you can anticipate what other part editors are going to be used. Thus, your palette could be consuming precious screen real estate that other part editors expect to be available.
