This doesn't happen with the version of 4.61 that I am running. (I grabbed
the rpm of ftp.falsehope.com; it's packaged for RedHat, and seems to do
something a bit nasty to the Desktop icons: all my mini-xpms are now badly
scaled versions of the full xpm ...).

I also deleted the /usr/lib/X11/app-defualts/netscape file, which didn't
provide anything I wanted, and seemed to disable various mouse and keyboard
functions. Has the 4.61 mdk.rpm been mirrored anywhere with any bandwidth
yet?

I expect that there are many different causes of the bus access error:
Picking up confusing entries from old config files (or not finding expected
entries) is probably one of them. Differences in behaviour between glibc2
and glibc2.1 run time libraries probably also contribute.
