Going back to fewer channels and trying to reduce the managed area
will not increase the pixel depth unless you restart the graphics,
hence the aparent inconsistency.
Use pfQueryWin to determine if the your visual has multi-samples.
You can have multi-sample anti-aliasing with the smallest pixel depth,
you just have to select the appropriate visual.
