Hello??? Did you read my email at all??
All you need to do is put the X resource entries for
netscape either in your
"/usr/X11R6/lib/app-defaults/Netscape" or in your
"$HOME/.Xresource" file; I recommend the later, since
the other one is version sensitive.
And that is exactly what I am pointing out, that the
Xresource entries for button 4 & 5 are missing from
the netscape application defaults resource file in the
current cooker packages! I guess somebody updated the
file to 4.73 and forgot to add those.
