Thanks. Sometimes I have the same thing on an SGI O2 with IRIX 6.5 and Netscape 4.7. In some cases I got error messages after killing the process from another host saying weird tings about X requests. I believe the problem occurs when you click around (seems more often when using the third mouse button) and Netscape is to busy to react on your click. Then X seems to be waiting for the reaction (like pop up a menu) from Netscape, but it doesn't know about this. It's like a sort of Deadlock between the Netscape GUI and X.
