FreeBSD grumpy.dyndns.org 4.7-RC FreeBSD 4.7-RC #0: Sat Sep 21 21:42:25 CDT 2002     dkelly@grumpy.dyndns.org:/usr4/obj/usr/src/sys/GRUMPY  i386

>Description:
Recent spate of updates and upgrades including "portupgrade -ra" from 
this week's sources. Communicator 4.8 quit understanding my keyboard
and would seize KDE 3.0.3 so that the only way out was to kill XFree86.
>How-To-Repeat:
I think everyone will have this problem.

Launch "netscape" from a shell window and many warnings are sprayed out.
The first few lines provided the key, that /usr/local/lib/netscape-linux/XKeysymDB
could not be found (didn't know that path).
>Fix:
Add this line to /usr/local/bin/communicator-linux-4.8

export XKEYSYMDB; XKEYSYMDB=/usr/local/lib/netscape-linux/XKeysymDB
