IDL> print, !version
{ sparc sunos unix 5.4 Sep 25 2000 64 64}

I've tried to figure it out from dfanning.com but I think it's a CDE
problem:

I have two (identically configured) Sun boxes running IDL 5.4.
Obviously not identical, because one has a problem and the other
doesn't.

I get the 'color flashing' problem on one machine (mr3). My machine,
mr1 works fine.

I set direct_color=24 and decomp=0 on both. Both get 16777216 colors.

xdpyinfo says that the default visual is PseudoColor, 8. The output
from xwininfo shows that an xterm window is PseudoColor, 8 with
colormap: 0x34 installed on both. xwininfo on a direct_graphics
window shows -

[machine]: Class, Depth, Colormap
mr1 (okay): DirectColor, 24, 0x680001e (installed)
mr3 (bad) : DirectColor, 24, 0x5c0001d (not installed) <-- not sure
what this means

Also, when I run idlhelp using '?' from the idl command line on mr3, I
get the following errors:

IDL> ?

IDL> Warning: Cannot allocate colormap entry for "Grey75"
Warning:

Cannot parse default background color spec

Warning: Cannot allocate colormap
entry for "Grey90"

I've tried various settings for CDE - use more colors for
applications, use most colors for applications, default, etc.

I'm not running (hardly) anything else on the machines (just xterms)
and that doesn't seem to matter anyway.

Thanks for your help, in advance.
