For 8bit desktops just bang the icons through the pnmtools and quantize
them to 16 colours. I do wish X had an RGB332 'truecolour' some times.

That draft code tells you how to dither your images for the display. As
far as I can make out its primarily aimed at 3D rendering, so you can
have fake high quality 3D images (where 8bit banding _really_ ruins the
display) at lower resolution than your desktop
