One of the possibilities is that you're always running Netscape which redefines color palette. In 8-bit color mode (which most probably is the one you're using) ROOT and Netscape interfere with each other. We also observe that in this (8-bit = 256-color) mode ROOT-based graphics applications (in our case - CDF ROOT-based event display) run much slower in the presence of Netscape although we didn't spend much time to understand the mechanism of this slowdown. -Pasha
