For lesstif, you should be able to just allocate a private colormap in lesstif_parse_arguments() and XtSetValues it into the first widget created by XtAppInitialize. Or you could defer it until lesstif_do_export and assign it there. Avoiding the psychedelic flashing color palettes is a much harder problem. Are we really using that many colors in the lesstif hid? Another option is adding a "find closest color" feature to the color allocator. That will at least cover the colors used by the circuit board itself.
