win 32: the background color is not consistent

Trying loading ~smani/bgcolor.html.
Note that the background for the text appears white.
If it doesnt occur the first time - reload the page and it will
most definitely occur.
Look at evaluation.

Steps to reproduce,
1. on NT, load page: java.eng/~tinasu/manual/security/UnsignedAppletTest.html
2. Obvserve the background color of some area is different (white) from the rest(grey)... misleading as being highlighted.
