X doe snto cater for change scolor depths or resolutions on the fly.

(The Xserver could in theory support changing resolutions it would
confuse some clients but that would be all; changing color depths is
a different matter entirely; there it would be nice if we could have
8 and 24 bit coexist in all X servers and do some form of "compatibility
mode" for clients which don't play ball. (Some clients just plain refuse
to work if the first visual is not the proper one)
