I've rebuilt X from source and remade world but >neither solved the problem. Any tips/suggestions? I doubt this is a mouse problem. How do you handle .Xresources? Do you merge them? Your X inititialization file should have an entry... xrdb -merge .Xresources ... or something similar depending on how you have your Xwindows initialized. If you use xrdb -load (the default for xrdb) then all of your Netscape defined application defaults will be overwritten for that X session. I do not know for sure if this will solve your problem. I am guessing that you are wiping out some Xresources.
