If I don't have netscape running I can get the apps in full, living color on my local desktop. If I do have netscape running I get lots of: Error: Unable to allocate control colors for colormap segment errors, and the colors for the sun apps are all scrambled to the point of being unusable. Someone at work said that there is a way to get netscape not to hog all the colors, but I can't find the option. I tried -install, but that was a major disaster. Interestingly, if I start a sun X app first, then start netscape they play nicely together, so I know it's possible. Obviously I could just always do it in that order, but if there is a way to get netscape to always share the colormap with a setting I'd prefer that. Any help appreciated, Doug -- "My mama told me, my mama said, 'don't cry.' She said, 'you're too young a man to have as many women you got.' I looked at my mother dear and didn't even crack a smile.
