When Netscape locks up, you should still be able to recover without
rebooting. Since the system is able to detect the keyboard
(cntrl-alt-backspace registers), try cntrl-alt-F1 to bring you into the
console. Log in at the console. Type "ps aux | grep netscape" and look
for the firtst number in the row that corresponds to the netscape
executable. This is the program's id number, or "pid". Next, issue
"kill -9 ####", where "####" is the pid for netscape. [Example: Say this
pid is 2143, then you would issue "kill -9 2143".]
To regain control of your X-Session, type cntrl-alt-F7. Or, if that
doesn't work, try "ps aux | grep X" and kill the X session similar to the
manner in which you killed netscape above.
