Hi, Stephan!

I work in a spanish hospital, so I'm really interested in your problem.

We have Citrix Presentation Server 4.0. When I create a new application,
it has just four options for the display quality:

-16 colors
-256 colors
-High color (16 bit)
-True color (24 bit)

So it seems that Citrix can't manage a 32 bit. Could you make this
program work in a windows client?

Even more, this is extracted from xorg.conf (5x) manual page:

"Depth depth 
        This entry specifies what colour depth the Display subsection is
        to be used for. This entry is usually specified, but it may be
        omitted to create a match-all Display subsection or when wishing
        to match only against the FbBpp parameter. The range of depth
        values that are allowed depends on the driver. Most driver
        support 8, 15, 16 and 24. Some also support 1 and/or 4, and some
        may support other values (like 30). Note: depth means the number
        of bits in a pixel that are actually used to determine the pixel
        colour. 32 is not a valid depth value. Most hardware that uses
        32 bits per pixel only uses 24 of them to hold the colour
        information, which means that the colour depth is 24, not 32.
FbBpp bpp 
        This entry specifies the framebuffer format this Display
        subsection is to be used for. This entry is only needed when
        providing depth 24 configurations that allow a choice between a
        24 bpp packed framebuffer format and a 32bpp sparse framebuffer
        format. In most cases this entry should not be used."
        
Perhaps this info could help you. ;)
