YES, I get 24.

Anyone else have a PowerBookG4 running X11 that you can try this on?

By the way, I was running idl, not idlde. Not sure if that would make any
difference, but I'll try it.

Is there a chance that something in my idl.startup file could be messing
things up? Possibly relevant lines in the file are:

device,true_color=24
window,/FREE,/PIXMAP,colors=-10,xsize=10,ysize=10
wdelete,!d.window
device,decomposed=0,retain=1
device,BYPASS_TRANSLATION=0 ; to fix color problem in IDL5.5
