Windowmaker, fullscreen, 8-bit video and problems

[Scott Mohnkern <Scott dot Mohnkern at noaa dot gov>]

We're in an environment where we're opening ssh connections to a box and 
running an application that needs 8 bit color.  We realized that in 
order to do this, we needed to open up windowmaker in fullscreen mode, 
and set it to 8 bit video.  This is the end of our startup script:


run XWin :10 -clipboard -silent-dup-error -fullscreen -depth 8
run wmaker

Windowmaker is opening, but when we ssh into the box, the color scheme 
for the entire computer gets completely unreadable, as do the fonts.

Is there any other easy way to have an xterm session that does 8 bit 
video, just in that window?
