I question weather we should force a default color depth, instead just let the clients use the best color depth available. For thin clients, 16-bit vs. 24-bit color depth is a huge bandwidth savings; in theory, applications should work fine with 16-bit color, but bugs in applications and libraries result in ugly rendering, or sometimes even break entirely, as you observed. In those cases, I'd suggest setting: X_SMART_COLOR_DEPTH=false This lets the video driver always determine what color depth to use. I'd be inclined to make it default to that... live well, vagrant
