If a given program will only support a PseudoColor visual and your X
server doesn't support that, you'll probably lose. (But there's
nothing to be hurt by trying.) The X server I'm sitting in front of
now doesn't support PseudoColor, only TrueColor and DirectColor. That
having been said, though, this is only a problem for programs written
in Xlib and not using a widget kit; I'd be surprised if you did run
into anything not homebrewed with this problem.
