The legacy PseudoColor apps will break. Most of the time they
don't do any palette tricks, they just allocate cells instead of
colors. If they just called XAllocColor they'd have worked with
all visuals. If the default is StaticColor they probably won't
work at any depth anymore.
I suspect there are another class of applications which try
to allocate cells only if they see a depth 8 visual. Those would
have previously worked in all depths, but may now break in depth
8.
