Dana,

Thanx!

My Linux funtime will be really, profoundly limited for the next couple months--so \
it'll take a while. And I've not built anything as involved as a window manager \
before, so there will be a bit of a learning curve for me as well (which I more than \
welcome). But I'll put it on the TODO list and report back if/when I get to it.

Much appreciated,
-Mithat

Hi Mithat,

If you are willing/able to build openbox from sources, I have a patch
that may or may not fix the 24-bit case.

I have attached the diff file for the changes.

Cheers,
Dana
