XDMCP session, lenny client: pictures are displayed as black area

[Ekkard Gerlach <eg@liburg.com>]

Hi, 

A lenny client makes XDMCP, server is a suse 9.2 machine. Images
(simple black-white-scans 100kB) are displayed with 
"kuickshow" application as area completely in black . Why? 

Using gwenview instead of kuickshow all pictures are displayed
korrectly - but gwenview 1.1 in not usable, too many bugs. 
And no update of gwenview possible ...

Using suse 10.1 als client installation that makes XDMCP 
and all works: kuickshow displays the pic's korrectly. I 
know that because the client before has had Suse 10.1. But
its quite an effort to change the installation, so: any
ideas why lenny client prevents the kuickshow viewer to show
pictures correctly? 

Here is the xorg.conf of lenny:
