I'm with Hrvoje here. If I remember right (my linux box is dead right
now with a scrambled partition table), my 16-bit truecolor Linux
box shows the recycle icon with the fluorescent green. My 24-bit
truecolor Sun box shows it as a puke green. My only guess is the Sun's
openwin X11 server can't do the right thing. I'm running X11R6.3 on
the Sun with the openwin X11 server, and XFree 3.xx (Redhat 5.1) on my
Linux box.
It would bother me less if they were the same color, but they're not.
