Summary: Rdesktop support -a 32 and not -a 24 for win 2008

Initial Comment:
My TS connections to a Win 2008 TS Server always ended up with 16 bit color depth even if I configured 24 bits.
I was lauching it via GUI (like Gnome RDP) which passed "-a 24" argument to rdesktop.
I had to launch rdesktop with "-a 32" to have a 24 bit depth on Win 2008.
The man page of rdesktop state that color depth could be : 8,  15,  16  or  24.

Perhaps this a mistake in the man page (rdesktop support 8,  15,  16  or  32) or this is a limitation of Win 2008 (win 2008 support 16 or 32, not 24).
So according to the upper reason, 32 should be added or 24 removed in the man page
