> More information. It seems that whenever Netscape crashes (every time I use it), and then when I do ctrl-alt-backspace to kill X (if I kill Netscape, then it kills X and renders it unrestartable until next reboot - no idea why), it core dumps etc etc. But here's the killer. When I go back into X after that, Gnome works fine. Netscape still doesn't. But Gnome works fine. So does sawfish. Here I say, W T F ? What IS this? Something to do with Netscape, X, and Sawfish... I wish I wasn't so inexperienced. Any help on this greatly appreciated. The problem, once again, is that Gnome is really slow and doesn't think sawfish is wm-compliant until Netscape core dumps. > > > Dolgan had the audacity to say: > > OK, this problem got a whole lot weirder, but a whole lot brighter. > > > > I noticed that Netscape kept crashing whenever I went to a site (It > > still does - but there's always > > Mozilla and right now, I want GNOME working.
