OK, I just discovered taht the color problem only occurs when using a 
Sun Ray. I just tried it on the console. No problem. The colors are 
fine. But as soon as I access the machine through Sun Ray Server 
Software I have these weird colors. It seems that the problem only 
occurs when I access server B through a sun ray server software running 
on server A (remote login). That's probably teh reason why I encounetr 
this problem on the Sol x86 box and not on the SPARC. I bet if I 
installed SRS on the Solx86 and accessed it directly the problem would 
not occur.

So this problem - in opposite to not being able to use GNUstep/Etoile 
as a non-root user - is not very urgent. Nevertheless, if somebody has 
an idea what might cause this...

Thanks,
