As you can successfully create 24bit pixmaps I think it's pretty safe to
say the server does in fact support 24bit pixmaps just fine.

The documentation for gdk_drawable_get_colormap() says:

There is no mention that NULL would be an error of any kind, there just
isn't a colormap (explicitly) set for the drawable.

I'm just not seeing the problem here. There's
https://maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=179 but that seems different
still.
