Netscape only works as root (part2)

Ive tried both deleteing the ~/.netscape directory, deleting the user
ID, and creating a whole new ID, same
problem continues in each situation. About ready to scrap this version
of netscape (heard some other sites
complaning about instability and problems with 4.72 under Linux.)

Any other ideas? Ill keep searching too.

Thanks
Chris
