Qt will, by default, use the default visual for the display you are 
running the application (see xdpyinfo). If you can't/don't want to 
change the display's default visual, you can use the '-visual' 
commandline parameter. E.g. '-visual truecolor' will start your 
application with a TrueColor visual if one is available. You can also 
pass in visual ids directly, e.g. '-visual 0x22'. Have a look at the 
static QApplication::setColorSpec() function if you want to do this from 
within your application.
