Error: Cairo does not yet support the requested image format:
        Depth: 8
        Alpha mask: 0x00000000
        Red   mask: 0x00000007
        Green mask: 0x00000038
        Blue  mask: 0x000000c0
Please file an enhacement request (quoting the above) at:

boinc_gui: cairo-image-surface.c:155: _cairo_format_from_pixman_format:
Assertion `NOT_REACHED' failed.
SIGABRT: abort called

My X display was a TightVNC server started with "-depth 8 -pixelformat BGR233"
to reduce the network traffic. With depth 24 BGR888 everything works.
