Well, it's been a while since I used an 8-bit X Server myself, and I'm not sure if I ever played with GTK+ programming on one. As far as X though, you may need to persue using a private color map for your application.
You mentioned the colors are not correct. Do they become correct when
you focus on that window? (The wm you use may have a little influence also).
I can't think of anything useful to say regarding the slow rendering.
With 256 colors available, it is still quite possible to achieve fantastic results, but you will probably be limited to what apps you can run simultaneously, with the colors remaining "correct", even when the windows are not in focus.
I'm looking forward to what the other folks have to say also...
