Opera hangs once a day (I am running tp2) but I still prefer it since it keeps all my open windows open on restart and is much faster and has no annoying freezes. Netscape just for reading news is fine and usually stays up for weeks. Netscape because I have multiple newsgroup windows open at the same time. > But what about "controlling" netscape? > > How or why does it make my X and/or window manager unusable? > > Has anyone ran netscape as a different user and set different > limits/priorities for it? I suspect (but have no proof) that netscape uses some sort of stop-and-copy garbage collector and during the GC phase it is blind to any mouse/keyboard actions.
