Yikes. That's pretty non-trivial amount of code. Gah, I hope
it's worth it for a "message bus system".

Hi Dan, I don't really know what to make if your last statement.
On one hand, I am a huge fan of using older machine (all my development
machines are not cutting edge and that's just fine with me), however on
the other hand, 8-bit pseudo color display (I understand your setup and
why, but...)? It's the usual question that the cairo/gtk+ developers
have to balance: "How many users are actually running on 8-bit pseudo
color displays?". I assume not many and there probably aren't many users
out there using 1 or 4-bit displays either anymore. However, that is,
of course, the beauty of free software, if it is important/relavent
enough, somebody will/should come along and implement it.
These posts are quite telling (sorry if they have been posted before):
