Netscape only works as root

[Lucas Vogel]

As a matter of fact, I broke my X Server and netscape. I managed to fix X
but now my netscape doesn't work at all for any of my users. I'm going to
try to reinstall some of the packages and see how that works; I still
haven't tried the newsgroup thing but might try to get to that today and see
if someone can help...

Sorry for the delay in trying this. Deleted the ~/.netscape directory, no
change. Removed the user and recreated. No change. Created a new User, no
change. Netscape still functions only while logged in as root. Would it do
any good to copy the .netscape directory from the root ID to my ID?

Any other suggestions? I really hate to surf the web as root, not a good
thing!
