8bit Color

Thanks Chicken Blood Machine, the "-visual TrueColor" did not work, but "-cmap" did. However, the 'color flashing' was more of completly changing the desktop colors when the window was selected. Thanks again CBM

Yeah that's what I meant. The 24-bit TrueColor option, will work if you can get a Systems Administrator to configure your Sun box with 24-bit visual support, but a default visual of 8-bit. then your legacy app will still run fine in 8-bit color, but your Qt app should be able to make use of a truecolor visual (without the flashing).
