Yes, there are bugs in Netscape that cause it to not operate with the
the new libXt in XFree4.0. Although there are some workarounds for this
(I think if you turn off java and javascript netscape works OK), the
problem really needs to be fixed by Netscape. I hadn't heard about
problems with Qt, but that's also possible.

I really recommend people just install the server portion. In fact, the
build sets ServerOnly in config/cf/host.def, so that you're only
building the server.
