This is a common problem with color-hungry X applications such as Netscape.
Many X applications have an optional Xresource setting such as netscape's
"-install' command line option.

'netscape --help' and see '-install', '-ncols', and '-no-install'.  Other
apps want this placed in .Xresources or app-defaults files instead.

See if your jvm allows you to control the number of colors it consumes,
or its colormap.

Investigate raising the bpp (bits per pixel) setting on your X display.
That should provide your X display with more colors to share.

No matter what we think of Linux versus FreeBSD, etc., the one thing I
really like about Linux is that it has Microsoft worried.  Anything
that kicks a monopoly in the pants has got to be good for something.
