Why are colors missing, or why is there no writing in the xstm map icons?
X Windows displays can only show a limited number of colors at any one time. Some applications, particularly Netscape, use so many colors that there are not enough colors left over for xstm to display the system map properly. This may result in icons being drawn in black, with the writing on them also in black. This problem can be fixed by closing the applications which are using a large number of colors, and restarting xstm. Netscape can also be run with the “-install” option, which causes it to release its colors when the pointing device is not pointing within the netscape window.
