That doesn't reproduce the problem, so it's beside the point. Kettenis has figured out that what matters is whether you have a TrueColor/DirectColor visual or not. Check with xdpyinfo(1). That is a problem at least for macppc with X11 on wsfb. It turns out not to be a problem for local X11 clients e.g. on my laptop with the ati driver in 8bpp mode, so depending on the X11 drivers involved your simply setting your display to 8bpp might not be sufficient to see the problem. In that case, the combination of a default PseudoColor visual in 8bpp *and* limiting the X11 client to untrusted operations is required. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [EMAIL PROTECTED]
