I've had a similar experience with Licq.  SOmetimes i have clicked on it
and it has *never* loaded at all.  But i think this has something to do
with the net connection.  Both Licq and Netscape try to connect before
they are usable, and sometimes Netscape looks like it has locked up, when
i think it is simply establishing a connection.  Maybe i'm wrong here,
please let me know.  But i have seen them both come up quickly and slowly,
so i think it has to do with an outside factor.
