About the core dump, if I remember well, the installation instructions said that that was a known bug of the X11R5 library, or something like that. The solution was to create a certain symbolic link, which I think it was one or two of these (look at the netscape docs): ln -s X11R6 /usr/X11 ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib/X11 In any case, I'm sure the docs mentioned something on core dumping when you pasted text into a text box, and how to avoid it very easily.
