Sorry, I don't.  The systems I connect to all seem to default to 16bit, 
although I don't know why.

Changing the colour depth in the clients custom settings makes no 
difference either.
I suppose you could take a dump of the environment vars when 
nxdesktop_helper is running and see if there's something in there that 
you could pass to rdesktop with -a

Nothing obvious to use on my system, so you'll probably need to dig a 
bit deeper to see if the client bothers to pass the bit depth to freenx 
and if so where it gets lost.

Personally I'd probably try just modifying nxdesktop_helper to call 
rdesktop with a suitable -a option and see if you can force it to do 
what you want while you're looking for how to do it properly.
