Depending on what version of Windows he's running, RDP may only support
8 bit colour, or the administrators may have restricted it to 8 bit.

You could grab the last version of Wireshark compiled for GTK1. That
does not have the same colour depth problems. GTK2 expects (I might say
demands) more than 8 bit colour.
