David,

MMDV

I suspect that you are not using X86Free-4

I cannot locate any suitable .Xdefaults or .X11defaults

cd /root - then - ls -al  will return (amont other things)

-rw-------    1 root     root          112 Jul  2 21:26 .Xauthority
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root          188 May 27 19:21 .Xclients
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root           52 May 27 19:21
.Xclients-default
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         1126 Aug 23  1995 .Xresources

(.Xclients-default has the big - startkde)

and 

cd /etc/X11 - then - ls -al  will return (among other things)

Nothing looking like something I can hang your little fix for functional
wheel on Netscape.  :-(
I'm gonna have to keep working my fingers to the bone clicking on scroll
bars I guess.

I think you need to invest in some new Pentium 3 or 4 iron so you can
provide support on latest RedHat stuff. Of course, I'm not offering to
subsidize it though.
