Hi,

Just though I'd throw my info on the table.  I use a headless FreeBSD box 
and an Amiga as an X server (slightly unique).  I'm also unable to run 
applets.  The first time I try to run an applet I get the "unable to 
allocate background color" error and from there on it doesn't even bother 
to load any applets.

This would seem to indicate that either the Xserver I am using has the 
same problem as the FreeBSD X server or there is something else in the 
pot.  My system is 2.1-release 486/33 16meg.  My Amiga's running a x 
server I've had for a while.  Probably X11R5.

Hope this helps.
Geoff.
