I kid you not - I am not doing anything any different as Root as I am as a normal user. Both root and normal user use KDE. I run netscape from the script /usr/X11R6/bin/Netscape as both users and Root's displays correctly whilst normal user doesn't - THE SAME WEB PAGE! The point is a very strong one - It shouldn't matter whether I run Netscape as root or a normal user: There is a bug somewhere. Maybe I have to set the environment variable: set DISPLAYCORRECTLY=True :) Maybe I'll do all my web page testing on my Linux machine logged in as root! I'll check the envorinment variables - but surely this shouldn't make the browser act differently. I give up. I remember IE3 for Linux/Unix.... :) Kev

Netscape sucks, but this doesn't strike me as being a Netscape problem. Netscape's just an application and the layout differences you are seeing shouldn't occur just because the user ID changes.
Have a very careful look at what is being run when you start Netscape: which scripts in which path with which environment variables etc. Check the Netscape config files. There maybe some changes to the X environment between the users too.
Anyway, my latest problem from the Netscape front is very bizarre indeed. I log in as Root on my Linux machine and to all extent the web page displays fairly correctly (minor faults) with web pages that have layers (<DIV> tags) in them. I log in as a normal user - and guess what? The layers are all strewn all over the place again!!!!
