It is complaining about unknown actions, which to me means a problem
with the RHS of a translation, not a problem with unknown keysyms on
the LHS. The XKeysymDB file supplied with 4.02b7 is identical to the
XFree86 one in regard to the osf symbols listed. I've never seen this
particular problem when running any version of netscape anywhere (including
the native FreeBSD 4.02b7 version), and my guess is that there is an
old Netscape app-defaults installed which refers to actions which don't
exist (any more) (or something similar in a .Xdefaults file). The comments
in the sample Netscape.ad file recommend strongly that it not be installed
in the app-defaults directory for reasons of version skew.
I've tested this theory by making the following change to Netscape.ad,
and installing it in my app-defaults directory. I then get the following
warning message 4 times:
Warning: Actions not found: kill-selection, insert-selection
