It messes up colors because your in 8-bits colours, isn't it. Try 16-bit
if you can.
Maybe you can kill X to restart the session (on my LinuxPPC2000, I hit
<CTRL - CMD - delete>, and because I use xdm/gdm/kdm, X restarts
automatically).
You can try to switch to another virtual terminal (I don't if this work
on Suse) by <CTRL - CMD F1> (or F2, F3...) and relaunch X by hand.
Did you try to launch mol in another virtual terminal (and a whole
screen)?
