That would be a Netscape problem and shouldn't have anything to do with
your window manager... check Netscape's preferences and make sure you have
all your settings correctly filled in.

There was no panel with buttons and stuff at the bottom of the screen??
Very odd... XFce does things a little differently than Windows or KDE, but
is very simple and user friendly.
I would suggest getting the newest version of XFce, as the version that
comes with Mandrake 6.1 has some problems that are fixed in newer
versions. Feel free to E-mail me (to keep list traffic down) if you'd
like some assistance with installing a new version and getting started
with it. :)
