Interesting, I'm running XFree86 3.1.2 G (latest beta version) and the
same version of netscape, and it doesn't work quite right for me yet =(

Every time I use netscape under X, and then exit out of X completely
I've
got some sort of martian keymapping going on. The actual letters come
out
all wrong as well. Very strange. I reckon netscape is perhaps not the
best
quality software the world has to offer at the moment, or maybe it's a
beta version again (but they forgot to tell us this time =) )

Strange, I think I'll use lynx from now on =)
