Rev 2.8 on RDP is a total disaster

[xavier.bury at clearstream.com]

things get stranger!
The console window is set to 16 bit yet the screencolors still report 
4294967296 which is 24 bit!
And the screendepth is 32!

The colorMap reports only 256 colors (all seem wrong anyway)...
And the documentation says in the comments: If the bit depth is greater 
than 8 bits, the colormap property always reports "Fixed"

But that is not the case!!!!

Conclusion, the rev engine is not aware of what the display depth is being 
displayed in RDP (remote desktop protocol)...

Bugzilla 1076, was reported in 2003, and more than one person consider 
this blocking...

Anyone know any solutions???
Switching the colordepth of the session to 8, 15, 16 or 24 bit is a 
possibility but NONE of them work properly!!! 

Thanks for any hints
Xavier
