Well, if you were running RedHat, I'd say get the X 3.3.2 RPM, since the
standard "X" binary switched to "Xwrapper," since X is suid root. But
you're not so it's moot.

That's 'cause you're using the dynamically linked Motif version, which
will fail upon loading if you don't have Motif installed. Use the standard
'netscape' version: 

-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root     10195592 Sep 29 15:57 netscape
(the dynamic version, which I deleted, is about 7 megs).

It has all the Motif stuff in there for us losers who don't buy it (can't
afford it, don't want it...whatever... ;-)
