I think that any DEVICE command has the potential to open a graphics channel
as it may well need it to perform the requested operation. For example, a
device,true=24 will almost certainly do so as it's requesting a 24bit
TrueColor visual from the X server and will need to communicate with the X
server to do so. I think retain=2 will also, as it's asking for use of the X
servers backing store.
