Yeah.  Either the server does dithering or not.  Given that xorg
doesn't, it's safe to assume that server doesn't.  So the only option it
leaves is to unconditionally disable render compositing in those cases.
I'm sure that will make some people unhappy though.

Donno.  What do others think?

There's a third option also and that's doing gradient dithering
separately.  That's a valid option still.
