I mean the vnc protocol doesn't support 24bpp, so it couldn't help vnc (I am aware that at the moment vnc is not using a DisplayAllocator, but I guess it could in the future). However I do agree that implementing 24bpp support in DisplayListeners would be a better solution and if we did that I wouldn't object to getting rid of DisplayAllocator. Ideally we could also introduce a simple vnc protocol extension to export 24bpp directly to clients.
