A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Android Studio fails to start throwing InvalidPipeException in sun.java2d ("Unsupported bit depth: 30"


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
I've modified the source file X11SurfaceData.java as follows

    public static SurfaceType getSurfaceType(X11GraphicsConfig gc,
                                             int transparency,
                                             boolean pixmapSurface)
    {
        boolean transparent = (transparency == Transparency.BITMASK);
        SurfaceType sType;
        ColorModel cm = gc.getColorModel();
        switch (cm.getPixelSize()) {
        case 30:
            sType = X11SurfaceData.IntRgbX11;
            break;

So no exception is thrown, however this is only first step. I'll investigate further what needs to be modified in order to fix this correctly.
