Umm, you are running a 16-color server (4 bit pseudocolor).  Netcrap
is known to eat up a bunch of colormap entries and won't be quite
happy otherwise.  (It always ate up so many map entries that i've been
switching to 16 bit truecolor now.)

I don't know if you are stuck with 16 colors, if so, you might try to
convince your Xserver to use staticcolor instead of pseudocolor.  This
will pre-allocate the 16 color slots, and make the Xserver approximate
any color request to the closest matching color.  I assume it will
look terribly nevertheless.
