I was maybe a bit optimistic: [olivier@snoopy olivier]$ konqueror --help-qt << SNIP >> --cmap Causes the application to install a private color map on an 8-bit display. --ncols <count> Limits the number of colors allocated in the color cube on an 8-bit display, if the application is using the QApplication::ManyColor color specification. Unfortunately, it does not seem that --ncols works here for KDE apps (maybe a K developer can comment on this). The --cmap option works :o/ Maybe adding one line in the good config file will allow color limitation in KDE. I think this possible with GTK (do not how) and FVWM.
