Each application is using its own colour map because they can each get
more colours that way. I use netscape -install for this reason. So it's
a feature, not a bug. It can be a bit surprising, particularly when you
use the Window Ops menu or the title bar which both belong to the window
manager, not the application.
If you have enough memory on your graphics card, you could run X
with more colour depth. I have to use 8bpp.
Cheers,
