Re: Problem with Xserver and Gnome applications

[Please do not mail me a copy of your followup]

John Tsiombikas <nuclear@xxxxxxxxxxxx> spake the secret code
<slrnfpj60u.m3r.nuclear@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> thusly:

They probably don't know how to deal with a root depth of 24.

Have you tried it on a screen with a different root depth?

Very unlikely... most X servers nowadays run with a root depth of 24.
Any bug of that sort would hit the application developer immediately.

That's good to know; I haven't done any X11 programming since the
early 90s. Lots of code was root depth fragile at that time. People
were just starting to get truecolor root windows.
