I doubt this is a mouse problem.
How do you handle .Xresources? Do you merge them? Your X inititialization
file should have an entry...
xrdb -merge .Xresources
... or something similar depending on how you have your Xwindows
initialized.
If you use xrdb -load (the default for xrdb) then all of your Netscape
defined application defaults will be overwritten for that X session.
I do not know for sure if this will solve your problem. I am guessing that
you are wiping out some Xresources.
