* Per Nicu's tip, the image is now indexed with no diethering (whatever that is).

As we are here on a documentation producing project, I feel the need for a short description of what dithering is.

Instead of using my own words for this, I found a very good definition on Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dithering#Digital_photography_and_image_processing

"Dithering is a technique used in computer graphics to create the illusion of color depth in images with a limited color palette (quantization). In a dithered image, colors not available in the palette are approximated by a diffusion of colored pixels from within the available palette. The human eye perceives the diffusion as a mixture of the colors within it. Dithering is analogous to the halftone technique used in printing. Dithered images, particularly those with relatively few colors, can often be distinguished by a characteristic graininess, or speckled appearance."

On the link you will find also a very descriptive images (so no need for me to make a new ones in GIMP)
