Ah, nice to hear that you can confirm this. (monochrome icons)
I still suspect it's an X Driver problem since it happens with
NS 4.05 as well on my 24bpp XF86_SVGA with Matrox Millenium (I).
(the Matrox Mill support is in the SVGA driver).

Do you use the SVGA driver as well?

When I run NS 4.04 under XFree86 with the XF86_S3 server in 24bpp
mode none of these problems (java console crash, monochrome icons) are
showing up.

The former is a Amd586/DX4/133 on ASUS SP3G,matrox millenium I, 64 MB,
the latter a P5/233 with Elsa Gloria (S3-968).
