Browser crashing on remote X session

[Joel Hammer]

I posted this before, but didn't get any easy answers, so I'll try posting
it again. The need is again here since the wife is migrating a bit to
linux and I want to supply her a browser that works. I would rather have
her logging onto the server than configuring her linux box from stratch.

Netscape 6.2 works tolerably well when run directly on my server (not on the
firewall machine, but on a server behind the firewall). However, when logged
into the server, running a remote X session with X -query Server from
her linux client on the home network, netscape crashes a lot. It
crashes consistently on some sites, making it almost unusable. Opera
exhibits the same behavior.

One possibility is a javascript bug. However, I have no idea where to
look. There must be a solution, somewhere. But, I can't even figure out
how to turn off javascript in Netscape 6.2.

Any insight appreciated,

Joel
