This may or may not be relevant. I had a pretty stable potato system, but last week I replaced my video card and modem, and started pulling a few things from woody (I know better than to change more than one thing at a time in case problems arise, but I figured to take a chance that everything would go smoothly). Two or three times now I've seen X (icewm) just up and quit while Netscape was running, and while downloading some stuff in dselect in the background (without Netscape running) I've noticed some weird X display problems (like Gnome Freecell leaving image remnants all over the screen if I move the window). After the download was finished, I tried to, but could not, duplicate some of the problems. I say this to imply that the problem may not be with Netscape, but with X. Of course, I may just be adding noise to the signal of this thread, so you might be better served to simply ignore these comments.
