I am having trouble with a current project that requires the use of a 
24 bit directcolor visual under X windows.  Everytime I do a XCreateWindow,
I get a XBadMatch error, which I cannot figure out the cause of. (gosh, 
leave that preposition dangling).

The steps I need to do is:

	1.  Use XMatchVisual to decide if a 24 bit visual is available
	    (it is not my default visual)
	2.  Use XCreateWindow to create a window.
	3.  Create an XImage to be used with the window.

If anyone has a simple program or program fragment that you know works, then
please send it to me.  I am also open to any hints on how to proceed, as
I am strictly a novice X programmer.

If it helps, I have tested this on an HP9000 300 series, which supports
X11R3.  

Thanks in advance.
