There's 26M of footprint already.  I didn't bother to add up the remainder
of the VSZ numbers, but with a 10M X server and an 8M netscape just about 
everything else in your system will have been pushed out to swap at some
stage, and thus will have swap allocated to it.

You don't have nearly enough swap for what you're doing on that machine. 
I'd be going for something between 60 and 100M, and at least 32M of RAM.
