display depth

[Matej Franceskin]

I use the following command to start my X server on win2k:

 XWin -from my_address -screen 0 1024x768x32 -fp tcp/fontserver:7000
-engine 4 -query remote_server &

The problem is that I want to run some programs that do not support
visuals with more than 256 colors.
If my screen has 32bit depth than the option -screen 0 1024x768x8 does
nothing. I noticed that the last parameter (screen depth) is irrelevant.
XWin always uses the same depth as the win2k display so If I want to get
8 bit depth I have to change the win2k display setting to 256 colors and
use -engine 1 with XWin and all the colors I get this way are completely
messed up.

The same thing works fine in linux...

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug (or feature)?
