I had this happen a few times right after I installed it (on a -Stable system), and I think that it was related to a mismatch between the number of display colors netscape was trying to use, and what I had avail. When I set X to start with 16 bpp this problem went away. If you want to save yourself some ram, try setting the MOZILLA_NO_ASYNC_DNS=True environment variable for the user who starts X. This prevents the ram-sucking "dns helper" that netscape spawns, and never worked right for me anyway. What I am still having problems with if anyone has a suggestion is pasting into netscape from an xterm. It doesn't work for me at all, and it's making me nuts. I'm using afterstep if that makes a difference, but I can't see that it would. Any help welcome. Doug
