IMHO, a program should *never* change the colour depth or screen
resolution without the user's express permission!

If I'm running QPC2 in, say, 800x600 QL colour mode, it's for a
reason. The last thing I want is for a program to take it upon itself
to change things, especially since a change could have fatal
consequences for other running programs (c.f. comments received by
Dilwyn re. the behaviour of the pre-release version of Launchpad)...
