Well, other than stating this completely backward...
John's other comment (about trying the PseudoColor first causing most
things to default to it) seems to indicate that a lot of applications
must just take the first visual that they can get ahold of.
Looking at the source for Xaos, it obviously calls DefaultVisual, so
that completely makes sense. I supposed I could always hack up this
program, and give it a try. However, it also has a software pseudocolor
simulation that seems to work ok.
