the problem is that you don't have your color depth set
high enough if you can try running your video card with 24
bit color

 I'd suggest trying 32 bit.  24bit color (at least here), screws up the
 color on the icons in Netscape.  Don't know if it's an X server issue or
 a Netscape issue.
 
16bpp here, netscape icons go black on me when i use the FBDev Xserver,
but i thought it looked kinda neat that way so i didn't bother looking
into it.

YEA!! ME TOO.. But here's MY drawback.. I *mostly* run enlight/gnome.  
On occasion I will run
KDE.  If I set my color to 32 bit, Netscape looks fine, but KDE 
displays all images ( say from Kviewer )
in BW.

If I set it for 24bit, Netscape looks like a mutated hack, but I have 
color in KDE.

I wrote KDE they said it was my video drivers.

I'm running a CL Voodoo Banshee using the drivers off CL's site.
I have also used the Darryl Straus drivers with the same result.

Enlight/Gnome works fine in 24 bit.

Seems like KDE has a problem to me..
