Hi all,

I am trying to launch netscape and staroffice off the bar at the
bottom of my gnome screen. My window manager is icewm running under
gnome, and the netscape I am trying to launch was built from
/usr/ports/www/linux-netscape47-navigator/. The staroffice was built
from /usr/ports/editors/staroffice-5.2

If I add a launcher to the bar and set the command to
/usr/local/bin/netscape, clicking the icon doesn't launch the
application. Looking at the window I started x from, I see the
following messages appear :

/usr/local/lib/netscape-linux/navigator-linux-4.77.bin: error in loading shared libraries: /usr/X11R6/lib/libxalflaunch.so.0: ELF file OS ABI invalid.
xalf: timeout launching /bin/sh

If I tick the 
Run in Terminal 
box in the launcher properties, then a terminal is launched and the
application starts fine. It's only when this is not ticked. The same
situation applies to staroffice.

Needless to say, terminals lying all over my desktop unneeded is
something I'd like to avoid :) Does anyone have any idea how I can fix
this ?

Thanks,
