Netscape sometimes locks your mouse with some javascripts. I don't know
why, but I just deactivate javascript support to restore it.

About it crashing everytime, I think Uwe Bonnes is wrong. I upgraded my
system from RH6.2 to Conectiva 6 (I need the kernel 2.4.1 with XFree86
4.0.1), and some kind of miracle made Netscape (4.76) perfect... Java is
at 100% and Flash works with more than 5 FPS. It's a great news, but the
shell of Conectiva is awful (in "stdin-mode", it treats Backspace as ^H
- it's a p'ind'as to use "cat": thia^Hs a r^Htest), and the default
settings are a mess. I guess it is the version of NS, but who can
understand the "close-source"s ? :)

See ya,
Eduardo Costa
