Actually, I rebooted. But, upon reflection (too many machines, too little time), the machine I rebooted still has netscape 3 on it, and the machine that has netscape 4 on it didn't get rebooted. So, I did an xrdb -query, and sure enough I have some leftovers from my .Xdefaults. I re-ran xrdb, but unfortunately I don't have time to test it since it's Friday night and the box that can run it is at work. My box at home doesn't have the 'umph' to run V4, so it still runs V4. In short, I *suspect* that things should be working fine if: 1) It is Netscape 4 for FreeBSD 2) There is no trace of any kill/insert-selection crud in any application defaults and/or .Xdefaults file. But, if you're running netscape 3, you'll get annoying messages. :( Nate
