Assuming this is the answer to the problem, to set the colour depth you do
indeed edit /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf, find out the mac address of the
client you want to apply the setting to and put a couple of lines like
this: 

[00:11:25:84:CE:BA] 
    X_COLOR_DEPTH=24

There should be an example lts.conf file here:

	/opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/doc/ltsp-client/examples/lts.conf
