Well, the problem is different from typical private color map effect
where the window in focus gets the right colors and the others don't.
The windows in focus get garbled colors and others get the right colors.
I haven't tried different window manager yet but I believe this is not a
WM problem since the windows receive focus fine.

Does mozilla use private color map on a 8-bit X by default?
