Try running "Netscape -install". Netscape wants to use many colors, and
so do most other X11 applications. This "-install" will tell Netscape to
run with it's own color palette "installed". The screen will flicker when
your mouse moves into/out of the Netscape window but the graphics will
always look correct. (Don't worry, this does not "install" anything
permanently onto the system, it just tells Netscape to use it's own private
palette.)
