Hmm, right, I didn't think of that myself, even though I was aware of the palettes being Gimp palettes. However, it's not quite nice to do, usability wise :(
Or...
Since GIMP palettes are just sets of rgb triplets in a text file with an optional name, you can just edit them in your favorite text editor.
Create one in your ~/.inkscape/palettes directory, or in one of the common shared places, and Inkscape should pick it up.
And Swatches haven't really been around all that long. They initially went in to start exercising the widgets used to present and interact with them, with the "color palette" aspect just secondary.
They'll be getting a major tune-up, including nicer UI editing, expanded drag-n-drop, and full coverage of styles, not just RGB colors.
