Hi,
I also run RH6.0. Just tried to use AW on 8bpp display. I don't see any
'electric colors' as on your screen shot, independant of the window manager
(I tried KWM too) and order of starting netscape and AW I use. Everything
is OK for for such bpp. But I have more fresh version of gtk (1.2.3) compared
to the one shipped with RH6.0 (and pre-0.7.12 version of AW, though it seems
there were any changes in the area of colormap handling).
So most probably it's old gtk issue. Please try upgrading it and reporting
results. Also you can try 0.7.12 AW (get it from
www.abisource.com/dev/binaries/).
