With crossed fingers for good luck I will report my the findings of my
experiment with imwheel and Netscape..
I first downloaded the source for imwheel from cooker. I compiled it, I
installed it and I found that I still had the same problem with imwheel
stopping in Netscape whenever it wanted to stop even though it was still
loaded.
Below I have quoted information that Alan Shoemaker posted some time ago.
According to Alan this code, and I quote again, "try adding adding the short
piece of code below, to the end of your ~/.Xdefaults file. Doing so stopped
that flaky scroll wheel behavior on my system."
I had done that. But after some thought I found that I had added some other
lines that change the items(icons) in the Netscape toolbar to ~/.Xdefaults and
Alan's code was NO LONGER the last entry. I moved Alan's code to the bottom of
~/.Xdefaults and I have had no problems with imwheel since.
That is almost three days and having loaded and unloaded Netscape many times
and after having loaded Netscape multiple times in the same session and loading
multiple Netscapes at the same time. To this minute I can't seem to make it
stop working.
Thank you Alan Shoemaker.
