Juergen,
You could have saved yourself some work. I had the dame problem
exactly and posted a few questions about it. Finally I found out that I
can use "-visual pseudocolor" when starting Netscape and the problem go
away (apart from an annoying message about failure to allocate the
background color each time a Java page is displayed). Anyway, you can
test if it will work with a default visual of TrueColor by adding the
following to the Xplxv command line: -I 32. This will load the X server
with TrueColor as the default visual.
