Gnome is a known consumer of colour resources, and it's applications aren't very graceful when they run out (as they do with our 8 bit framebuffer), it could be that you are simply running out of them. You can use a true colour visual at this depth (the colours are pretty ratty, but at least you never run out) by adding Visual "TrueColor" To the SubSection "Display" part that covers you. James
