[SuSE Linux] Netscape/KDE 1.1 problem?
Since upgrading to KDE 1.1 (which I did by uninstalling all of the KDE 1.0 rpms and then installing the 1.1 rpms in the order suggested in the SDB) Netscape insists on opening its windows offset to the physical screen, such that the top left corner is inset from the upper and left screen edges, and the bottom and right edges of the window are off screen. Maximising the window returns it to a sensible position wholly within the screen display, but it's annoying to have to do that each time I open it, and despite trying various ways to get it to learn its position after I've positioned it where I want it, next time I start it, it opens offset to the screen again. I've tried de and re-installing Netscape, fiddling with the config files (/opt/netscape/Netscape.ad and ~/.netscape/preferences.js) but no matter what I do I can't seem to get it to behave. I've also noticed an error message in my logs that's only occurred since installing KDE 1.1: kdm[206]: can't execute "XBINDIR/xrdb" (err 2) Since man xrdb teels me that xrdb is responsible for setting various screen parameters for use by applications, I'm guessing that perhaps the two things might be connected. The problem seems to be that $XBINDIR is an uninitialised variable on my system, but in what file should I be setting it? And if the two aren't connected, does anyone have any ideas how I can force Netscape to do as it's told!
