I've set up my server for a default visual of 24-bit true-color, but the Sun X server has many, many visuals available. I used to use whatever default the server decided on but gv and ghostscript always ended up picking the first visual which was 8-bit. Ick. I now explicitly tell the server to use a 24-bit visual for gv and gs's benefit. One a good note, I haven't seen this happen since my original report, but I've upgraded to b40 and GNOME in the meantime. Ray
