More Netscape Woes

[aesop]

Just an FYI, netscape has an option -install.  This allows netscape to 
install its own colormap.  The colors will depend on where the focus 
of your mouse is.  I do not know how much memory is used, but you may 
want to give it a try if you think color allocation is the culprit.
