The dithering _does_ look lousy when it is used as a background color.
Regardless, the primary problem is not how the icons look; it's how they
suck colormap cells from everything else.
At least, that's the assumption. I would feel pretty dumb if there were
some other part of gnome that's sucking colormap cells and not putting
them in an obvious place, and we got a graphic designer to redo all the
icons and we still had the colormap problems.
