Interesting. Of course GIMP doesn't care about the visual. After all you are not editing your image for a particular visual. If your visual is 16 bit, the conversion to 16 bit happens in GDK, or actually a part of it called GdkRGB. Since GdkRGB does color dithering, the user cannot even tell that the display is 16bit by looking at it. Well, perhaps if she is using a magnifying glass...
