FWIW, I have been running E0.15.4 for slink (without gnome) and had no major problems with Netscape. My only gripe with E is that I can not use wmmail docklet because E doesn't recognize it as such (unlike asclock and wmppp which run and look identical in E and WindowMaker). If anyone has solution to this I'd love to hear about it.. damir
