Hi, Netscape probably is the problem. I downloaded the glibc Netscape from ../development to because Netscape was the only libc5 app I was using and if I switched to glibc Netscape I would have a 'clean' glibc-only system. But I had problem after problem with it. It would freeze on web page loads all the time and moving the window around would erase the graphics and wallpaper from anything it moved over and I was constantly having to ctrl-alt-backspace out of X because neither alt-q nor killing it's pid nor anything else will unfreaze it or get rid of it.
When I first installed it everything seemed okay, but it seems to gradually grow worse the more you use it. libc5 Netscape has been flawless for me. Runs much better that in Windows, because I've never had a 'general protection fault' dialogue box that forces me to close all my Netscape windows, and I get GPF errors in 95' and NT' at least once every other day.
