Nautilus background steals colors from applications

Description
When a colorful Nautilus background is selected on a machine with a limited colormap default visual (e.g. Creator 3D ffbconfig -deflinear false) Then many X applications give "Warning: Xt Warning: Cannot allocate colormap entry for default background." errors and come up with color deficient displays and Icons. (White text on white backgrounds, missing or corrupt looking icons...)
Suggested possibility is: "It appears that Nautilus isn't properly negotiating the best Visual for itself with Xsun. Sun framebuffers tend to offer the lowest possible visual as their root visual, while XFree86 on Intel-based hardware seem to offer their best as root. Solaris-built applications tend to know to ask for the visual they want and use that. Which is, pedantically, what the X standards tell you to do."
