...very interesting. First, remember that X is a client/server system,
but that it is BACKWARDS ;) The X server is the thing that your user
uses (seriously), and the X client is the software that displays onto
the X server (the user's terminal). So if netscape is not getting
keyboard input (which comes from the remote X server) then either:
1. netscape is using different displays for input and output (Q: is this
*possible*?)
2. there is something with with X
3. there is something going on that I don't know about
(most likely 3)

Try VNC (http://www.orl.co.uk/vnc). It will allow you to see and
interact
with a remote X or Win32 screen (and a couple of other architectures)
