Very common issue with Xvnc -8bit is that it uses 8bit truecolor (3 bits
red, 3 bits green, 2 bits blue) instead of the more common palettized mode.
Several graphically intense X programs (like KDE) don't understand this
mode. To use a palettized mode instead, include the option "-cc 3" when
you invoke the server.
Also, it seems like I have read several complaints about KDE 2.x having
problems with any color depth below 16bit, but I can't remember where. It
may have just been related to the -cc 3 thing...
