Netscrape is known to be bad like this.  I think it does better if you
use 16- or 32-bit colormode for your X driver.  'Course you can't get
24-bit color at less than a 24-bit colormode.  However, 16-bit really
isn't too bad (gets a little grainy, but not nearly as noticeable as
8-bit colormode, yuck).
