Right now, I just use this to run netscape, and it works fine: #!/bin/sh Xnest -fp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/ :1 -geometry 1024x768 & sleep 1 netscape -display :1 It launches another Xserver to waste more memory, but it works. > Which makes me wonder if there is something OTHER than Window Manager > / Server choice affecting stuff here. Presence of SHM perhaps (which I > do have compiled into my BSD kernel) ? Some wacky environmnet > variable? SHM is pretty common so I doubt that is the problem. I've also tried running this whole mess as root to see if it worked (with no luck), so I doubt that environment variables have anything to do with it. Also, Linux people have this problem too, so I doubt it's us. I think I'll just use the Xnest hack until the next beta, and hope that netscape fixes it (Someone should report this bug to them). Sujal
