i'm having this problem as well. it started when i upgraded to netscape 4.6. reverting to libc5 4.51 fixed it but when 4.61 came out with support for glibc2.1 i upgraded and i haven't been able to fix it since. i've tried un/stable 4.5, 4.51, 4.6 and 4.61 and they all break. all of my netscape windows disappear (sometimes) when i close a window or try to login to an site which requires authentication (pop up window style). i was trying to find a pattern among the info people posted but couldn't really see one. did anyone else figure this out? - p2-266 128mb ram - kernel 2.2.9 - glibc 2.1.1-13 - xfree 3.3.1 (vmware 3.3.1 server) - windowmaker 0.60.0-2 - neomagic nmg5 if anyone has figured anything out i would love to know the solution. thanks, adam.
