Ah I see, he was using a special interface and not the Inkscape::Selection. That explains the problem.
Off topic somewhat:
Tell me, does inkscape have a way to turn used colours into a pallet? I just tested the 'auto' pallet and it didn't do anything. So I'm not sure what 'auto' does, nor if the idea of a used-colour pallet has been implemented yet.
It more is the representation of 'solid colors' in the current document. It automatically adjusts to what is in whichever is the current document.
We can take it a bit more, but probably should keep workflows in mind. There are a few different ways to represent things, and even some internal cleanup that can be done to make things go easier.
Of course "solid color" and "colors in the current document" are very different concepts and can end up needing complex overlapped workflows.
