Color depth question

[Robert de Bath]

There are two ways to avoid this 'palette flash'.

1) Get rid of the palette, ie switch to >=64k colours or use an 8 bit
   fixed palette ("truecolour") mode.

2) Use fewer colours.

   -- An option for the viewer to reduce from 256 colours to 64 colours
      would do this nicely. The connection to the server would still be
      8 bit, it's just displayed as 6 bit to avoid bad false colouring.

   This would be useful for BOTH windoze and X.
