At Loss with Mailing
Greetings Hal,
In RH7.3 I just tried to simulate your setup just opening X with xterm only. startx /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm.
Opening Netscape 4.79 I have no problem entering a URL, however, opening Mozilla 5.0 I have as you call it the dog bone cursor yet cannot enter anything into the URL window, like you say as if the keyboard is not responding. Opera works fine as well as dillo.
I am using xfce as window manager and there is no such problem.
I just checked with Slackware 8.0 using xterm only. Results are the same as in RH7.3. No problem with Netscape 4.77, Mozilla 5.0 URL window does not respond.
Regards

Re: Netscape6.2/Slack8.1 Problem??
Greetings Peter and thanks for going to so much trouble as did Ray..
I did a clean new install in another partition only selecting the bare essential packages, using the simple fvwm2 window manager.. Invoking netscape it needed two libraries I missed; libgtk and glib, that had libgmodules included.. If a fella did the full KDE/Gnome install as recommended by Patrick, the libraries would have been default installed, I suspect.
Once I got rid of the new, to me, Activation Screen stuff, it's now working fine as expected.. Don't know if it's really any better than 4.77 for my use but we'll give it a whirl.. What happened the first time around I'll never know and wont ask. <grin> 'top' reports 91% idle so we're not straining anything IMHO.. :^)
I went to the problem URL that started all this, ups.com, and it didn't balk - so I'm in business.. These new fangled programs are something. You not only don't have to type in 'http' but they don't need 'www' anymore.. Boy we're getting lazy...
Thanks again,
Hal - in Terra Alta, WV - Slackware GNU/Linux 8.0 (2.4.18)
