Imlib uses fixed palette for dithering (~/.imlib_palette.pal or
something like that, you can change that using imlib_config). That
palette must be suitable for your system, and imlib must get enough
colors to instantiate that palette. So my guess would be that you're
using too big a palette and so imlib only get some colors
(insufficient to dither correctly). I suggest you use xcmap (to
display palette) and imagemagic to grab xcmap window from the display
to extract the palette from it.
