Since by exporting the display the app will connect
to the 16bpp-XServer this one should work without
problems. Except the app was programmed to just
handle 8bpp, that means, ignores visuals totally
Or your app uses XImage-structures and does not
convert between different machine-types. Or ...
What app is it.
