I've tried depth = 24 also and it did not work for me. I am concerned that
regardless of what I set it to the log continues to report "depth 8".

Subject: Re: KDE2 and vnc
with kde2, you must have vncserver run at depth of 24.
Vncviewer can run at any depth, it must be done by
vncserver. I edited /usr/sbin/vncserver script to
accomplish this.
