I wouldn't bother trying to find out. I can't think of any good reason to run Netscape as root. If somehow your user X session is broken and you need to find out from the net how to fix it, you can always use lynx or w3m, which are both perfectly good text-mode web browsers. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
