If you need more line colors than you can allocate planes for, you could
erase lines in front of a background pixmap by drawing the lines using a
GC which has a 'fill_style' value of 'FillTiled' and a 'tile' value of
the background pixmap.  That should set the pixels in the line to the
background pixmap values.  Of course, the performance may be terrible.
