VNC desktop with wrong colours

Description of problem:
Colours of VNC desktop in vncviewer on ppc64 are wrong and there is also some repainting when moving window or select/highlight with mouse.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tigervnc-1.8.0-9.el7.ppc64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. $ vncserver :1
2. $ vncviewer :1

Actual results:
colours of desktop are wrong

Expected results:
colours of desktop should be correct

Additional info:
It is very probably endianness problem. Tested with vncserver running on ppc64 and x86_64, vncviewer on ppc64 had always wrong colours.
Via Vinagre colours of VNC desktop are correct.
Comment 2 Jan Grulich 2018-08-07 11:33:02 UTC 
Do you have chance to test on RHEL 7.5 with older Xserver and tigervnc? I would like to know whether it's a regression in RHEL 7.6 or whether this has been a problem for a long time.
Comment 3 Tomas Hudziec 2018-08-07 13:48:10 UTC 
Yes, I have. I will test it as soon as I will have ppc64 machine reserved. It should be at latest by tomorrow.
Comment 4 Tomas Hudziec 2018-08-07 15:48:31 UTC 
Wrong colours are also present on RHEL 7.5 with:
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.19.5-5.el7.ppc64
tigervnc-1.8.0-5.el7.ppc64
gnome <= 3.26
Comment 6 Jan Grulich 2018-08-17 11:34:56 UTC 
Fixed with tigervnc-1.8.0-10.el7.
Comment 8 Tomas Hudziec 2018-08-17 15:04:15 UTC 
Desktop colours now looks correct with tigervnc-1.8.0-10.el7.ppc64. Switching to verified.

(However there remains small issue, that popup with "Press F8 to open the context menu" is blue tinted. Filed that to bug 1618777.)
