I rechecked after your confirmation and the problem was, that I still
had an RGB_DEFAULT_MAP(RGB_COLOR_MAP) on the root window. After:
 xprop -remove RGB_DEFAULT_MAP -root
things started to work as expected. 

I just noticed another issue: when running virt-viewer on ppc against a
local vm the vnc display first looks fine but when resizing the window
red turns to green and white to "yellow" - when I disable scaling things
turn back to normal - seems there's still an endianess bug hiding
somewhere.

Thanks for the help!
