...and everything else Linux :-) I've been trying to run a simple
graphics program from the Linux:first contact book (which seems
excellent, btw), using their BasicGraphics class. It displays the
window, with a scale along the side, then pops up a message
saying it can't allocate a background using the default colormap (or
was it a colormap, using the default background? - sorry, I'm at
work, doing this from a poor memory:) Netscape does the same,
and I've seen plenty messages about that, but it's not such a
problem - I canb live with a white background for a while. Please,
has anyone any helpful advice? I don't really understand anyhting
else i've seen, apart from starting Netscape with an -install switch,
but that doesn't seem relevant. I've got redhat 5.2, jdk117_v3,
fvwm95, Cyrix 6x86 P200+, diminishing number of braincells...
