24-bit means 8 bits per RGB channel.  32-bit means 8 bits per RGB 
channel plus 8 bits alpha, which isn't very useful on the display.  So I 
wouldn't worry about it.  (If you had a >8bpp display, that would be a 
different story, but those aren't very common.)

Of course, lots of programs use 32 bit offscreen surfaces, but that's a 
different story.
