This is not surprising. If you ask the display
what it's visual depth is, it obviously has to
establish a connection to a visual class to find out.
If you do this *before* you have selected a visual
class, then it gets the default visual class (I.e,
Direct Color) and all subsequent attempts to define
a different visual class fail, since a visual class
has already been established.

The procedure is simple. Establish a visual class
FIRST. Then open windows, inquire what its properties
are, etc. AFTER.

Cheers,

David
