George,

Note that if you are running in windowed mode (i.e., not passing the 
-fullscreen parameter), then the depth of the widthxheightxdepth 
parameter is ignored.  That makes sense, right, since Windows 
applications that are sharing the display all have to run at the same 
color depth.  You should actually just be passing ``-screen 0 1024 768'' 
and you should be setting Windows to run in the desired color mode.

Not that any of this will matter, but perhaps you should give it a try.

It seems that you are indeed connecting to your CDE session, but that 
the remote side is then shutting down the connection.  Since there is 
nothing of interest in your XWin.log, I suggest that you have a look (or 
have your sys admin have a look) at the XDM logs on the HP UX machine. 
That will probably tell why your session is being rejected.
