Hello Bruce and Pasha,
Thanks a lot for the answers. You got right on the mark! If I don't run Netscape
or if I run it with the -install option, I don't have any color problem in ROOT.
But, since I need Netscape running and, as Bruce point out, the colors of the screen
get really ugly with the -install option, does the ROOT team intend to fix this
problem on next releases (if this is at all "fixable")?
Thanks again,
Marcelo.
