I had a line in my ~/.bash_profile like this: export PATH=".:~/programs/bin:"$PATH":/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin"
... hashing it out fixed the netscape problem. It also runs from the fvwm2 menu now, since I added: export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:~/bin ... to my ~/.xsession just before the call to start fvwm2, which is on the last line of my script. So, the question is: Why does that PATH cause this to happen?
