Try xfce, too. It can run with the Gnome panel (xfce is on the mdk disk, but
not installed by default). It's small and quick--and imo, easier to
configure than ICE (but that's just my perspective).

Download the mozilla-font tarball. Don't have the url, sorry, but search for
mozilla-fonts.tar.gz No, mdk 8.0 didn't fix it.
Install it and set netscape to use it's fonts--you'll be pleasantly
surprised. Try the 'nix version of Opera, too--it's way quicker than either
netscape or mozilla, and lots smaller.

Can't help you there, I like to do things manually. Swat works on my boxes,
but I don't bother with it.
