If you start netscape with -install, colormap flashing is inevitable.
The URL you reference suggests "netscape -ncol nn", or using a static
color map. I didn't see anything that would help the netscape
installed colormap match the currently installed colormap. Even if
the initial colormaps are close, I don't think they would remain close
for long.
I think you will end up living with "netscape -install" and the
flashing. I don't think fvwm is doing anything to aggravate the
problem.
