An update:
I thought maybe there was an incompatibility between X 4.2 and these
older apps, so I downloaded chimera. Oh lovely! A browser whose binary
is less than a meg. Compiled straightaway without having to hack
anything. Seems to have the necessary features and none of the crap.
Cool!

But the scrollbars are REALLY weird. To scroll down, I have to click
the LEFT button ANYWHERE in the scrollbar - above or below the slider,
it still goes down. To scroll UP, I have to use the RIGHT button.
Again, either above or below the slider, it still goes up. I can't
seem to drag the slider, and the SCROLL WHEELS STILL DON'T WORK...

Am I to assume that scrollbar behaviour under X is always totally
weird and changes violently between apps? And that scroll wheel
support is app-dependent and probably not there?

Am I gonna have to hack X to make it send scroll button events to the
scroll bars of the active window to make scroll wheels work in all
apps? I'm quite happy to, but I need to know if this weirdness I'm
experiencing is due to a bug or config error, or if scrollbars in X
are always up the spout. But surely it should be sending scroll wheel
events to the scroll bars anyway... I don't think it's my added
protocol support, because the Intellimouse protocol doesn't work
either, but both of them let me use the vertical scroll wheel in an
xterm.

Gonna try some of the fluxbox WMs and see if that helps...
