I too noticed this. Are there applications that would not work without pseudo color?
I am making Xvnc work like winvnc by running it as the primary Xserver and using vncviewer to display it on the local desktop. The color quality of the desktop is identical to the original only if XVnc is run with TrueColor and the highest color depth of the regular XServer. However this would mean that pseudo color applications cannot run.
