bug 9918: GetDeviceCaps BPP should use XVisualInfo

which is synonymous with

bug 2680: Wine should report 32bit color depth instead of 24bit

blocks:

* bug 2680: Wine should report 32bit color depth instead of 24bit (DAZ studio)
* bug 3319: GetDeviceCaps: BITSPIXEL returning 15 on 15bit graphics (no app)
* bug 4278: Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow fails with need 32bit color
* bug 4935: IHP Kitchen: Unhandled page fault on read access
* bug 5671: qtracker crashes before first screen

This is exactly why metabugs are a bad idea.  With very few
exceptions, Wine's bugzilla bug reports should be about apps only.  If
any apps fail because of the exact same cause (bug), then the
appropriate bugs need to be marked as duplicates of the original bug
report.  Topics like "Wine should report 32bit color depth instead of
24bit" and "GetDeviceCaps: BITSPIXEL returning 15 on 15bit graphics"
are development planning information, and as such this information
belongs in the wiki.  Unless I'm mistaken, the formerly quoted bugs
are all about the fact that Wine returns 24bit color depth instead of
32bit.  Why are there at least 6 bug reports about one bug?  bug 3319
should be closed as invalid, moving the information to the wiki.  bugs
9918, 4278, 4935 and 5671 need to be marked as duplicates of bug 2680.

I'm sorry, but that's just really lazy.  As of this writing, there are
3218 open bugs in our bugzilla.  Countless many of those bugs are
invalid or duplicates, so we don't need to knowingly add to the
clutter.  Make sure you understand the difference between blocker and
duplicate.
