Netscape/X key/mouse binding problem

Recently I've been having a strange problem with Netscape and X. I'm running
the latest potato stuff. When I start netscape, I get this:

...
Warning: translation table syntax error: Modifier or '<' expected 
Warning: ... found while parsing '        &lt;Btn1Motion&gt;:
DisarmLinkIfMoved()  '
Warning: translation table syntax error: Modifier or '<' expected 
Warning: ... found while parsing '        &lt;Btn2Motion&gt;:

Warning: ... found while parsing '        &lt;Btn3Motion&gt;:

DescribeLink()  '
Warning: translation table syntax error: Modifier or '<' expected 
Warning: ... found while parsing '        &lt;Btn3Down&gt;:
xfeDoPopup()    '
...

Several pages of that.

I'm assuming it's an X problem, since I've reinstalled Netscape several
times, several different versions, and most of all, trying to launch
Netscpae from a remote machine also gives me that.

Netscape will start and load pages, but they mouse buttons don't work. I
can't click on links.

I tried rgrepping /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 and /usr/lib/netscape for keywords like
"Btn3Down" and so on, but nothing relevent showed up.

It looks like an uri escape problem, but I don't have a clue where to fix
this or how.

If anyone has any idea what's going on, please email me! I'm not subscribed
