[openbox] Openbox crashing with 24 bit video

[Dana Jansens]

Hi Mithat,

If you are willing/able to build openbox from sources, I have a patch
that may or may not fix the 24-bit case.

I have attached the diff file for the changes.

Cheers,
Dana

Also, the author recommends 16 bit video on both the host and the guest (http://bellard.org/qemu/qemu-doc.html#TOC50).
