One thing I noticed in Netscape Communicator, there seems to be no way of switching off the flashing cursor during composition. On other X applications (not Linux though) I noticed that if I switched off the flashing cursor (eg in nedit) the X server did not crash as often. In fact I proved it to myself once by deliberately switching On the cursor then iconising (or losing mouse focus); then after about an hour X crashed. I blame the netscape crashing problem to bad X handling. I sspect Netscape is doing something actively to X periodically even if it is iconised or does not have mouse focus (I mean Netscape browser, not just Netscape communicator). Maybe it's the starry icon thing. Regards, Jill. -- Jill Rowling, Snr Des. Eng. & Unix System Administrator Elec. Eng.
