I find I have these problems from time to time with Netscape 4.6, but I
assume its Java related as I don't turn Java off. I also have another
problem that someone might be able to shed some light on for me. I can
only run Netscape when I have my ppp link up, if I don't have it up and
run it it runs alright until I click on something, it then locks up and
sometimes even takes X with it. The only solution is to drop to a console
and kill X. It did this with 4.51 as well.

As for knetscape I'd sooner gnetscape, and the Mozilla front end is being
built using gtk+
