Gnome and DirectColor visual

[Gregory Hosler <gregory hosler eno ericsson se>]

Anybody know why gnome doesn't like to be run on a DirectColor visual ?

I have an application that needs to be run on a DirectColor visual, so I
started up a 2nd X server with a DirectColor visual as the default visual,
and with a gnome session as follows:

        xinit  /usr/bin/gnome-session -- :1 -depth 24 -cc 5

The colors are absolutely horrible. Note that selecting a TrueColor visual
(e.g. "-cc 4" instead of "-cc 5" in the above) works fine.

Any hints as to how to get gnome to work in a DirectColor visual environemnt ?

thank you, and regards,

-Greg

   You can release software that's good, software that's inexpensive, or
   software that's available on time.  You can usually release software
   that has 2 of these 3 attributes -- but not all 3.
