Michel,
What about using an aliases in ~/.bashrc :
alias x16='startx -- -bpp 16'
alias x8='startx -- -bpp 8'
...
The advantage here is that each user (if there are more than one) can
use start X in the color depth they prefer.
I believe adding these (or other) aliases to
/etc/skel/.bashrc
will automatically add it to any new users, as well.
I definitely don't claim to be a guru, but I think this would work for
me.
