Right-click -> Image -> Indexed

The palette used for the  Engels tiles in cvs is attached.
(This has 64 colours.)  You can put this in your 
~/.gimp/palettes, and then in the dialog you get from the
above you can select this as a custom palette, to produce 
an xpm with colours matching the default tiles.

The second attachment has this done.  Most of them look ok 
with this many colours IMO.

Actually, that is part of the image dimensions (600x60).
The number of colours is the third number: 3997 (!)
Specifying all those colours takes up alot of the file
size (I don't think xpm is a particularly good format
for lots of colours) so the reduced colour image is a lot
smaller.  (Also, with many colours xpm uses two characeters
per pixel, but only 1 per pixel with reduced colours, which
also contributes to making the file smaller).
