You are simply running out of colors. With 8bpp you only have 256 colours,
and afterstep just uses too many of them (look at the gradient fills and
such).
If you configure fvwm2 to use gradient fills and many colorfull icons, it
will run out of colors as well.
I am surprised that netscape even started. As it is another
colorhog. Although you can start it with the -install argument, so it uses
fewer colors.
