There was a thread a few months ago in which some people (me
included) complained that XEmacs and Netscrape could not live well
together, color-wise. I seem to recall that Steve had said that the
only solution for that time was to start XEmacs first, then start NS
with '-install'.
I think he also said that a better color usage algorithm will be
implemented in a future version of XEmacs.
