Well, I thought you might be onto something, but it didn't pan
out as expected. I brought up X with no window manager and continuted to
get the same problem, a complaint about not being able to allocate
"SlateBlue". Then I remembered that this was my default backgronud color
for xterms, and it was clearly already allocated.
I then restarted X without a .Xresource file and got a slightly
different message. Netscape still complains with "Warning: Cannot
allocate colormap entry for default background." Now I am running the S3
server in 8 bits, so I am assuming that it wants more than 256 colors.
The only effect -install had was to delay the colormap message
until I loaded a page with java code in it, instead of poping up
immediately.
