[ROOT] speculation on graphics problems

Correct me if I am wrong in the following speculation.

First, some observations:
I am running things on Sun Ultra workstation with Solaris 8.
(1) With one Mozilla running,   ok.
(2) Fire up another Netscape, ok.
(3) after (1) and (2), plotting in root has problem.

-----------
(a) With one Mozilla (or Netscape ) running, ok.
(b) plotting in root has problem.

-----------
(I) No Mozilla or Netscape.
    Can do some plot in root.
    
-----------
inference:
  root is competing X resources with Mozilla or Netscape.
  The fact (2) indicates that netscape 'knows' how to deal
  with competition peacefully.
  I speculate that there must be a way for root to do the same.
  
-----------------------
Anyone in roottalk also uses Sun's workstation ?
Do you have the same problem with ROOT/graphics_interface/X11
that competes with netscape or mozilla ?
Can ROOT/Qt/X11 solve the problem ???
(I am asking this because I prefer not to go through the 
 process of trying-out the latter possible solution.)
