I've appended a patch that does this.  If color allocation fails, it
turns on beNiceToColormap (which does dithering).  I'm a bit unsure as
to the correct #ifdefs to put this code inside, however...

Should I check this in, or put it into my big-pile-o-patches?

I didn't implement this.  Maybe if someone complains about it ...
[I'm not even sure if those resources are documented; I got them by
looking at `strings' output for the library.]
